Need help, I crashed my hard drive, and now after re-installing XP I find
that service pack 2 seems to lock up windows, after reformatting 2 times now,
can anyone give some advice on why I can not put service pack 2 on my
computer. I have XP Home Edition also have service pack 2 on disk, tied it
both ways from disk and also from the internet.. get the same problem just
keeps rebooting at start up screen..
