On my Windows XP Home Edition M30 cannot upgrade to SP2

Hello

A few days back I just made a recovery from the toshiba restore CD.
Now, I'm trying to upgrade the computer to service Pack 2.
But everytime I update, the update could install my sercurity updates.
Why is it so. I bought this computer on Nov 2004

HI Ooi,

You try to install the SP2 from its own CD or are you downloading it from the Microsoft Windows Update web site?

If you use the CD then you need to make sure that you have no prior maintenance applied first before installing SP2.

It may be better to use Windows Update to install the maintenance because this will check what difficulty level to that your laptop is and then to ship the updates in the correct order.

Kind regards

  • Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3

    Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.

    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind rgds

    Hello Maver1ck63,

    Thank you for your message.  You have the jumpers physics master/slave accordingly?  Otherwise, the value OS hard drive (Maxtor) to the master and your Hitachi to the slave.  After a reboot, your system recognizes this drive in 'my computer '?  If so, can you right click and format the drive?  (Keep in mind, the formatting will erase all data on the disk, you will need to back up any important information before formatting).  If you cannot access or recognize this drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    Do you think your player, you can get in shape from here (or assign a drive letter if it is not recognized in my computer)?
    Please let us know the result.
    See you soon

  • Cannot install game or applications in Windows 7 Home Edition computer.

    Original title: Windows Installer problems - Windows 7 Home Edition.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I tried to install a game last night and at the start of the installer it disappears from the screen and I find myself with an icon in my taskbar tasks that wont open. Sometimes, if I'm lucky and let him go, he will open full screen and allow me to continue with the installation. I thought maybe it was just the game that I was installing. So I tried to install something else non-related and it appears the installer, but the bar never moves. I try to shut it down and he even used close. It will cancel, but even after I cancel, Setup is still used in the process. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution to this problem.

    Hello

    about the noise I recommend going to www.realtek.com and download the driver from there, which would be much better then the driver on the toshiba site. :)

    In regards to your webcam I Don t know how to help you because I watched the driver download page and I found something didn t. Maybe you should try the camera of another model software since the cameras are the same. I read on some forums (not here) that users tried with their machines and it worked for them.

    It s worthy to give it a try.

  • Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

    I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

    Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

    Thanks for the help!

    Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

    As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS

    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

    Chkdsk /r

    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you
