Trouble with Windows XP SP2 distribution from SMS 2003 SP2 Server

Hi,

I rolled out Windows XP SP2 from my SMS 2003 SP2 on 4 Windows XP SP1
Computers. Two of them went without a hitch. The other two failed &
ended up with blue screen after reboot. I had to uninstall SP using
recovery console to get them back up. The failed reason was that "The
specified path is invalid" with Event ID 4373.


When I did a manual SP2 update from the CD it went just fine on the two
failed computers. So I still have one of them to troubleshoot. Any help
would greatly be appreciated. I can provide log file details if you
need.
Thanks for your help.

I used the Windows XP SP2 Management pack from Microsoft's website.
Prior to rolling out on these 4 computers, I had tested with fresh XP
SP1 installed computers & the test run on XP SP2 software distribution
wen just like a charm.
