| 1357517 | 2005-08-31 04:55:00 | I'm trying ot install SP2 on the PC that i'm replying with these posts. I uninstalled SP2 yesterday, and I'm trying to install it again. Anyhoo, it just cancelled during the middle of the installation again. -_- |

| 1357518 | 2005-08-31 05:07:00 | I'm going to try and do a system restore previous from uninstalling SP2. | MasturJeff (7803) | ||
| 1357519 | 2005-08-31 05:17:00 | Hold on a second... I'm looking at my System Properties and I see my System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 1 and then I see it's registered to my brother with his name and I see this long serial number... is this the product key I'll need when I resetup windows xp? # = Number A = Letter #####-AAA-#######-##### So is this the serial # I need to write down? I'll just download the SP 1 Service Pack boot from the microsoft website. Here's the link for the setup boot for SP1. www.microsoft.com |

| 1357520 | 2005-08-31 05:32:00 | Umm no that number is different from the product key needed to install XP. It MIGHT work, if u either slipstream SP1 or 2 on the install cd. I dont know what that SP1 setup boot is or what it does. I've never used it, I just use a cd with SP2 slipstreamed on it. Saves me trying to find SP2 later. Get this to find out what the key is to install XP www.magicaljellybean.com |

| 1357521 | 2005-08-31 05:35:00 | Ok just to clarify... 1) I'm going to download the Windows XP Home Edition Setup (& SP1 setup just incase) boot disks from the microsoft website. www.microsoft.com 2) I'm going to reformat my C: drive. 3) Going to run the boot setup from floppy disks and enter my product key... 4) Put everything back on the C: drive that I burned to my CD-RW's. Am I missing anything? |

| 1357522 | 2005-08-31 05:38:00 | Thanks for the magic jelly bean keyfinder thing Speedy... I have to write the CD Key down. | MasturJeff (7803) | ||
| 1357523 | 2005-08-31 05:41:00 | Yup, if u have USB 2 SP1/2 has to be installed, the videocard drivers, the mobo drivers, the ide inf file drivers. Then the updates BEFORE u get back online. DON'T get on the net without SP1 or SP2 installed. |

| 1357524 | 2005-08-31 05:47:00 | That means I have to re-install my NVIDIA Video card. o_o | MasturJeff (7803) | ||
| 1357525 | 2005-08-31 05:49:00 | Depends, if the videocard is Nvidia based yer u do . Otherwise, you'll get a crap screen . |
