Re: SP2 UPGRADATION - SYSTEM RESTART

http://winhlp.com/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2

Check the logs, %windir%\Svcpack.log and %windir%\setupapi.log, for errors. Since the system is restarting when a driver is installed, did you install any updated drivers when SP2 was previously installed ?

Recently I had to reinstall Win XP after a hard disk crush. Every thing went well nut I am not able to upgrade to Service Pack 2. I am trying both from Microsoft original CD and fresh downloaded pack. In both the cases after unpacking and checking disk space it starts some driver loading, but then suddenly the system reboots. After restarting in the right hand botton corner it shows upgrades are ready to install. When I starts that it reached the previous state of checking disk space and install driver and then restart again. I have tried 20 times but with same result.

Can any one please help me ? Thanks a lot.
