After upgrading to SP2 RTM 2180

[Screemer]

Anyone had any problems when installting this on SATA HDD??

I have a

Intel® Desktop Board D865PERL <- Mobo

512Mb DDR 3200 x 2 = 1Gb RAM <- RAM

1 st Intel P4 HT 3.2GHz <- CPU

1 st Maxtor 200Gb HDD <- C:\

2 st Maxtor 160Gb HDD <- G:\ & R:\

1 st Geforce FX 5900 256Mb <- Graphics Adaptor

1 st Plextor 4012A <- CD Burner

Everything with the latest drivers and I had XP Pro SP1 installed before. Upgraded that to SP2 build 2149 and then when I got RTM SP2 I reverted back to SP1 and then installed SP2 RTM. Problem is at the end of the install nothing happends. It never goes out of the last light blue gui screen to reboot. And if I reboot it manually it is impossible to boot. First logo comes up and then it BSOD's. Naging me about virus or to remove any newly installed HDD's. I know I have no viruses and I didn't install any new HDD's. Any idea what could couse this?

Maybe you should clean up the disk because you say:

Problem is at the end of the install nothing happends.

Recommendation:

You don't need the Virtual Memory because your Memory is greater than 512 MB.

What do you mean clean up the disk?

I have over 50Gb free on my C:\

I have even tried to install with the SATA "F6" drivers from the mobo manifacturer.

Still no go.

All I have been able to find on the net about this mather is that it can be SATA that are the problem, that guy installed using the SATA driver from his manufacturer.

I find it a bit remarcable that MS releases something that can do this. I have tested allot of the beta and RC releases and had no problems at all.

perhaps I should try to install a slipstreamed SP2 build 2149 and then try to upgrade it to RTM 2180

Do a fresh install using a slipstreamed WinXP SP2 CD. Nothing else is going to solve your problem if I am not wrong.

I had to remove windir and do a clean install..

God **** it. took me 3 days to get the system back to what it used to be..

A clean install is the ONLY way to do a PROPER windows installation. Other ways should be bloody outlawed!
