Hi, I recently had my hard drive crash and had to replace it. I used the
Compaq quick restore disks that came with the computer to format the new hard
drive with Windows XP. I then set out to update with the various windows
updates that have been provided since.
I have run into a problem for which I can find no other information on this
site about. After installing SP 1 and all the other updates for windows,
hardware, etc... I then attempted SP 2. It will download and install but
after reboot... it will not boot up except in safe mode....there are no error
codes... just a screen that states that windows didn't properly boot with
choices to go to safe mode or try again for normal boot. I have tried this
half a dozen times and am beginning to wonder if I should skip SP 2 and just
try to download SP 3.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
