Windows XP SP 2

[Guest]

Hey out there,

I have try to load windows XP SP 2 and it get's half way and it keeps
failing. I have tried with the Windows XP SP 2 CD, and downloading it via the
windows updates. All the updates have been applied to my system except win sp
2. I have validated my windows xp and such, ran norton anti virus and update
the antispyware defender as well.

Thanks,

Joesph

Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows XP

Without an error message, there is little to go on.
But the Service Pack Installation Checklist goes a long way to make sure
your computer is ready for SP-2:
