Re: XP Pro Corruption

Sonny, you can slipstream SP2 and your WinXP + SP1 disk. Take a look
here for further instructions.

My Windows XP Pro got corrupted and I cannot reboot. I currently have the
Update Disk with SP1. I had updated XP previously to SP2 online, and also
got sent the disk for XP from Microsoft. I created boot floppies for XP
Pro,
XP Pro SP1 and XP Pro SP2. The only floppies that would work were the
SP2.

I was able to boot, but I could not do a repair and when I put in my CD
with
SP1, it would not load, the message just kept asking for the XP Pro SP2
disk.
What are my options? Do I need to re-format my drive? Is there a way to
get the boot program to recognize my SP1 disk? I need help. Thanks.
