Re: no boot !!!! xp sp2 auto update install

thanks shenan
it's good to hear from you
hope this finds you well too

re: "safe mode, debug mode, sans network mode, soap & lather mode, the mode
is on to pleasuse the rebooting gods"

I have no idea what that means... However - if you would explain what
happens when you boot into safe mode - that would be great. (Does it do the
same thing and bluescreen and reboot? Can you choose *not to reboot on
error* when you get the option t safe mode boot and if so - that should
leave the error up longer for you to copy more of it down.)

any mode does the same, the kernel boots, loads registry, the essential
drivers
follow (last one is mup.sys) one sec later ... !!! booom !!! ... crash ...
bsod


re: "latest & swankiest drivers, xp, av, ad, spy, all scanned *prior* to
sp2, clean, sp1 running fine, remember ?"...

Windows XP SP1 up and working working and having the latest drivers are not
necessarily connected.

i figured da much too
working working for da yanke dallar

There were many software packages and drivers (even
system BIOS - or motherboard firmware) that had to be updated in order to

slo down ol'boy, sys bios update is a separate process, no xp involved

install SP2 onto a perfectly working and clean install of Windows XP with
SP1 installed already and *not* crash in the process. The need for this
greatly depends on the system in question (hardware specs needed.)

iwill, or so they say, mobo kk266, adm 1400 cpu, 1GB ram, latest mfg bios
via mobo chip set vt8363
adaptec ash-1233 ata/100 pci controller
agp matrox g200 video
cmi8738 mobo sound chip
hd1: winpro 2000 sp4 seasgate 160mb ok
hd2: xp sp1 seasgate 400mb ok --> sp2 auto update, not doing so well

re: "I took the chauffer trip & valet parking: DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU
ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download is now
available on Windows Update."

.... or let us (bg) do it for (poor) you

Take the advice and get the full download next time. Consider yourself an
IT professional in this case. There is no need to use Windows Update for
SP2 - whether or not you are doing one computer or thousands. The advice is
meant as a warning to those with crappy Internet connectivity...

i passed the consideration tests long ago, thanks
.... or let us (bg) do it for you, and they did as
after an organic snack & organic oj, the updates were ready for me to install
internet can be crappy for sure, connectivity is good


re: "only when xp is up and running to ss/i into a cd"

You obviously have some system up and running - or you would not be
successfully posting here. Any Windows XP system (Windows 2000 as well - I
believe) can be used to integrate/slipstream SP2 and post-sp2 pacthes into a
CD and butrn a copy - given you have a CD burner and the rights needed to
utilize the computer in this fashion.

wrong
ss/i requires xp up and running as mentioned before
the lord of the rights is happy too, verification passed long ago,
otherwise auto update could not be enabled
do not underestimate the power of the bright side

re: "clean everything, remember ?"

Clean everything means nothing to me. One person's clean is polluted to me.
;-)

shocking
no doubt that is why we are all quickly destroying the planet


See the above for queries - let me know what hardware you have
specifically... Motherboard, video card, sound card, etc. Chekc for a BIOS
update for your motherboard. Do download the IT Professional version of SP2
and keep it to use and/or integrate. Make sure you have the latest drivers
for everything straight from the manufacturer's web pages (not Microsoft
updates.)

straight from the bull's eye
specs above
wonder if the 'r' after 'enter' really works & preserves data & installed
applications ?
after sp1---> auto sp2, the registry was corrupted, wouldn't you believe ?
I replaced it with ...\repair hives

You have alluded to this being a clean install - if that is true - the
integration and installation of SP2 from the beginning is your best bet on
the cleanest of systems.

passed the polygraph too, thanks
sp1 pro clean install into hd2 earlier w/ a lot of applications installed,
sp2 was not available until auto update installed itself courtesy of the
management

bg is zulu for bug geek

Several possible issues... The bluescreen should give more detail.

or so it should, but common sense kills

Boot into safe mode, use system restore to roll back before you
installed SP2
safe mode, debug mode, sans network mode, soap & lather mode,
the mode is on to pleasuse the rebooting gods


Visit the hardware manufacturer web pages (especially for
motherboard chipset, video card, network card and sound card) and
download/install the latest hardware drivers.

latest & swankiest drivers, xp, av, ad, spy, all scanned *prior* to
sp2, clean, sp1 running fine, remember ?

Disconnect all unnecessary peripherals (printers, scanners,
cameras, external hard drives, etc) and download the IT
installation version of SP2:

including memory
i pray to the rebooting gods constantly

Direct Download of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP
http://snipurl.com/8bqy

Install it.

no lord vader, do not underestimate the power of the dark side of
the bg
I took the chauffer trip & valet parking:
DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A
smaller, more appropriate download is now available on Windows
Update. The best way to ensure you get Windows XP Service Pack 2 is
by turning on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP today.
You can use our step-by-step instructions or, if you prefer, let us
do it for you.
or so they tried

You can also use the above download to integtrate SP2 into your
installation media so you can use it to repair an SP2 level
machine. NLite is a good choice if you have no idea how to
slipstream/integrate service packs and patches into a Windows XP
CD --> as it will do it for you and create an ISO for you to
utilize/burn to a working CD.

only when xp is up and running to ss/i into a cd
