hi well first of all ..........i dont have the .......win home edition SP2 installation cd........just SP1 cd.......the cd starts to extract the files needed for setup for SP2.......then i get the error message with a red check mark installation did not complete i have SP2 on a seperate cd........tried to download from microsoft same thing happens

[bobmad]

So you have XP with SP1 installed... and SP2 from service pack update CD and from Windows site is refusing to install..

Got it.

Fist thing I would do is make sure SP1 is good. I would run sfc /scannow (start run type"sfc /scannow" ) you will need your XP CD for this.

That will fix any files from SP1 that have issues. Once that is done try again on SP2 install.
