Tarun Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 As of this time, there is no SP2 for the x64 series of Windows XP*.*To my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) As of this time, there is no SP2 for the x64 series of Windows XP*.*To my knowledge.I doubt he's using 64-bit XP, as there is a separate Forum for that (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=104) Edited August 17, 2006 by LLXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markajm Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 this page http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm lists a bunch of reasons for your error.it sounds more hardware related than software. did you just update the bios? sometimes that can cause more problems than it solves. try an older version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T D Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Try running Xpress Recovery (if u have the disc). Edited August 17, 2006 by T D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Does it boot in Safe Mode?something to do with EVP?Your query is really "failure to boot after installing SP2", rather than "cannot install SP2".
