XP SP2 install error message - Help anyone?

[KC]

I am getting this message "unable to readfrom or write to
the database" This happens after the install runs for
awhile in the backing up portion. I have XP pro on a HP
3.03 HT processor. This has happend when installing from
auto updates and the windows update page. Any ideas?




Thanks,




KC

Hi

I have created a batch file that might help out on this problem.

Go to
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database". Download and run it.
