Hi Don - How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer
if the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed successfully
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=875355&product=windowsxpsp2kb

This article discusses how to use the Automatic Recovery feature to restore
your computer to its previous configuration if the installation of Microsoft
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is not completed successfully and you cannot
start your computer. Follow these steps if your computer does not start
correctly after you try to upgrade your computer from Windows XP to Windows
XP SP2. This article also discusses how to collect information about the
Windows XP SP2 installation and about your computer to help troubleshoot
issue. The Windows XP SP2 Setup logs, the System Information tool, and the
event logs contain information that can help a Microsoft Product Support
Services professional who may be working with you to diagnose the issue.
