You are welcome, SP2 has been out for a while but still causes problems with some hardware and software. It might just be an incompatibility with some hardware causing the system to not work right. Glad to hear you got it working though. ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

I have run virus scanners, spyware scanners, trojan hunters etc. and my system comes up clean but I'm reluctant to re install SP2 as I seem to get a different problem every time, must be something I'm doing but as I said previously, it's running fine now so I'll leave it at that. Thanks heaps Peter. IP: Logged |

XP SP2 update issues are almost always connected to a prior problem with your Operating System or software, virus and spyware are the biggest causes of problems installing and running SP2 successfully. Do a thorough scan of the system using several different online virus and spyware scanners to eliminate any spyware or virus parts that may be on your system, SP2 will not properly install or run on a system that is not completely clean.

Josh, I did what you said and still the problem persisted until I UNINSTALLED SERVICE PACK 2. Bloody thing! I don't know what it is with this update but every time I give it another go it seems to throw up a new problem. Anyway thank you very much for your help, my system is now running beautifully. Go figure! Peter. IP: Logged |

You might want to run a chkdisk on the drive, go to my computer open it up, right click your C drive then go to properties-tools then check now. Now when you get that error message, right click my computer icon-manage-disk management do you see your hard drive? Is it listed as Disc 0 and as Healthy? Next to Disk 0 in the colored shaded area right click that and go to properties then go to properties-hardware then on your main disk drive click-properties-volume populate does the error message come up? In that same window go to polices, is write behind caching checked? ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

Hello, I have this error window that keeps popping up every 10 seconds or so, it reads: "!!! Failed to open system partition, create file() failed, A device attatched to the system is not functioning" I don't know what this means, I checked ALL of my hardware and drives and everything seems to be working OK but the error continually pops up, can you tell me what this error is. Thank you IP: Logged |
