I've been reading through all the posts concerning SP2. I tried it out when
it came out, and it worked great for about 2 weeks. Then, I started getting
all types of odd behavior from my system. I found that most of my hw/sw
vendors didn't have the updates to go with SP2. Ultimately, I ended up in
Stop Error-blue screens and the endless boot-loop. MS Chat support suggested
uninstalling SP2, and running a repair operation on Windows. I was able to
get my data off the affected hd and I'm ready to just reformat and start
fresh. I would like to try SP2 again, now that most of my hw/sw vendors have
fixes. Since the explanation that seems to be given concerning all the
people who had problems with SP2 is being placed on systems that weren't
prepared, I would like to know what is the best way to prepare for a
successful installation? Is it more stable/compatible if SP2 is installed
before the other programs and hardware I'll be using? Or does it not matter
what order I install everything. Also, since I will be giving Windows it's
own partition, will that make it easier to uninstall SP2 if there are
problems later? I plan to separate my programs and data on other partitions
as well.
