Hi

Sorry for double posting. I made a big mistake on my previous post.

SUBJECT: Sp2
SYSTEM: P4,512 MB RAM, WINXP SP1 integrated +SP2, directx9.0c





I currently have installed winxp sp1(integrated)+sp2 on my D drive six
months ago. Then i changed my motherboard(Intel 845GV). and had no problems..

Now i want to change the xp intallation to C drive. So i intalled winxp sp1
to c drive(now i have two XPs) and i plan to remove xp from D drive later.
Then i tried to install sp2 into C drive(before installing any drivers). I
finished it and restarted. Now problem comes. I cant boot into my XP in C
drive any more. I can see upto winxp loading screen, and then system hangs. i
rebooted again and again but no success.

The i tried SAFE MODE. When drivers are loading, system hangs when it
displays 'Mup.sys' loading(or loaded i dont remember).

So i reinstalled XP again . Thsi time i insatalled all drivers. and then
tried to install sp2. but samething happens.

All these time, My XP in D drive has no problems(Thank god!).

I installed Xp in D drive from the same Installation cd.

So at last I formatted my entire hard disk, Installed Xp in C drive and then
tried to install SP2. But same problem again.

I don.t understand why this happens

So can you help me


Thankz
