I got a new hard drive and installed it. Put on XP and everything was working fine. Installed SP2 and it starts to boot, windows loading screen comes up and then the screen flashes and gets real small and then it reboots. Goes to the windows didn't shut down properly screen. It will boot into safe mode and let me uninstall SP2 and then everything works fine. Any ideas? __________________ DFI Lanparty SLI-D Opteron 175 Zalman CNPS7000-Cu OCZ DDR500 2048 Gold XTC eVGA 7800GTx 256MB PCI-E Lite-On 16x DVD+-RW DL WD 36GB Raptor SATA x2 Raid 0 Seagate 300GB SATA Dell 20.1 Inch Widescreen LCD

Re: windows won't boot after sp2

Have you tried to slipstream SP2 into the install to get around this issue?
