Windows XP Service Pack 2 Install

[Shelax]

Hi,

Shelax Here,

I Have A Little Problem To Installing Windows XP SP2.

When I Boot From CD Setup Works. After Partitioning & Formatting Setup Copying Files Portion Completes. But When Restart System Hangs When Windows XP BootScreen.

Funny Fact Is When Install Windows XP SP1,Windows Server 2003,Windows 95/98,Mandrake Linux 2007,Fedora Core 7,Mac OS X 10.4.8,Windows XP SP3 (Downloaded From Internet). All Installation Suscessful And Working Perfactly & Smooth. Mac OS X 10.4.8 Also Works With Sound,VGA,Realtek LAN,Logitech QuickCam, All Working.

I Dont Realize What's The Problem With Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installation. Bcoz All Other OS's Are Working That Means No RAM Problem.

PLZ Help Me !

do you have any other os's installed when xp sp2. also i dont see why it would encounter a problem when installing sp 2 but not sp 1. also there is no such thing as sp3 so i dont know were you obtained it but its a fake.

For your info i formatted complete hdd. than install sp2 but after formating and copying restart computer but hangs on ntoskrnl loading.my problem is not fake.

i have windows xp sp3 cd actual sp2 with updates. it was install successfully.but not OEM,Retail SP2 cd.

can i have to update my phoenix bios?

if yes send me link to bios update utility. bcoz i haven't that.

I don't see why you go mad and say your problem is not fake. It is not specified in your first post that you format the whole HDD and that there is no other partition. Also if your source CDs are..."from the Internet", there might be a fault in your media. If you really installed all of those OSs on the same machine, there might be some junk left in your MBR. If you can, whipe it (with for instance Ranish Partition Manager, booting from DOS).

How did you install sp2? Did you integrate it into the install files using the -s switch? You're doing something you're not telling us. Are you using a custom ntoskrnl.exe? This file has the image files for the boot screen, i wonder if you are trying to use a custom boot screen or something. try an original xp cd, integrate the sp2, and see what happens.

Check you have plugged any USB device, printer etc. or not; if yes then unplug and try.

Clean dust from CPU cabinet, clean RAM slots and insert RAM into diffrent slot.

Are you using SATA HDD or trying to install Windows XP into D:, E: etc drive, I mean logical partition without dual boot OS.

During the installation Delete the partition and Re-create partition and perform Normal formating. (Don't perform QUICK

FORMAT)

Shelax:

Nobody's calling you a liar. The only hint of negativity in this entire topic is the Windows XP "Service Pack 3."

I can see that there's a language barrier here (I don't think English is your first language--please don't take offense to this assumption). That's not a bad thing in itself--it just causes certain words to be misinterpreted...

Anyway, there is no real SP3 yet. The SP3 you downloaded was, as you said, SP2 with a bunch of updates on it.

SP2 with a bunch of updates on it is not SP3.

SP2 with a bunch of updates on it is SP2 with a bunch of updates on it.

I have heard that there was something called "SP3" among various pirate distribution channels (illegal, meaning we don't talk about that on this forum).

Here's my question to you:

Do you either:

a) have swappable hard drives? Each hard drive has an operating system on it. For example, if you are running Fedora now and you want to run OSX later, you would turn your computer off, remove the Fedora drive, put the OSX drive in, and turn your computer back on.

or

b) choose between your operating systems with a bootloader? On the bootloader, you select which operating system you want and press Enter.

If your answer is A, then you might have a bad Windows XP SP2 hard drive.

If your answer is B, then either your bootloader didn't like having so many operating systems to deal with at one time or SP2 doesn't like your bootloader. The "SP3" you referred to (again, this is NOT SP3...just SP2 with a bunch of updates) probably has an update that fixed this particular problem and a raw SP2 (meaning SP2 with NO updates) may have caused a problem at the time it was released.

I still think your SP2 cd is dodgy. Try with an other cd, you'll loose less time than recording all those video.
