Default Windows XP Service pack 2
Hi!

HP Pavilion zt 3000
Windows XP
768 MB RAM


I have been having troubl einstalling the servive pack 2 for a while now...I hv tried atleast a dozen times and it hangs where it says it is checking my product key. My OS is genuine (acknowledged by Microsoft website when I was updating the Direct X9.0) so I dont see what the problem is. I tried to get it off the internet (posts on google) and when I run set up, it tried to install the whole windows package...

If I hv to run the whole set up, does it mean that my data will be erased?

Is it possible to get only a XP Service pack 2 update somewhere?

Please help...am a little desperate since I have been getting innumerable erros using windows and when I report it, it always asks me to download Service pack 2...


Many thanks!
Tina
