i am TRYING to install win xp sp2 i have updated all my DRIVERS even my bios, and i get into a boot loop when i reboot ater install.  i have gone into safe mode and disabled all my drivers and still same problem. even ran a paralell install and still same problem. i can't help thinking that it has to do with my processor.
i am using an AMD athlon 64 3200+ processor.
nvidia Geforce fx5200 128mb 8x agp video card
i remember i asked for help with this problem last year some time but can't remember exactly when, somebody came back with a possible solution which had to do with a batch file having to do with the motherboard and how it responds on boot up. anybody out there know about this. any help will be appreciated. thanks

[email protected]I would go the the AMD website and see if they have any ALERTS about using SP2 with it.  ALSO do the same for your motherboard, and other hardware.  You might also check the MS website for incompatability warnings with anything you might have.

Hope this Helps. stanp.....Which version of Win XP are you using ?  Is it a OEM or Retail version ...... Are you trying to D/L SP2 from M/S or or you using a SP2 cd ?

let us know
