Guest Windows SP 2 Problems Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Hi, I have been trying to instal sp 2 for windows XP for several hours now. Each time it goes the whole way through to backing up the old files an then stops dead. It says that it needs 4 megabites to instal the update but there is no room on the disk. This is on a clean 38GB partitian. Please help!! Thingamee
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Please read : Preparing for installation http://winhlp.com/WxSP2.htm#Preparing_for_installation If you have any issues installing SP2, then read ' Cannot install Service Pack 2' further down on the above page. Also, suggest you download the entire SP2 package from here and save it for future use: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A Or, order the CD and just pay for shipping: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx It would behoove you to create a slipstreamed XP CD so that if in the future the need arises to reinstall SP2 again it will be integrated into the original XP CD. Read the ' How to create a slipstream CD ' heading to learn how this is accomplished on the XP Problem Solver web page.
