But i got an idea, if i installed XP on a new HDD, and booted up on that. then i would be able to access my other HDD and get the data out.Comment

in the BIOS setup you should temporarily disable the L1 and L2 cache. On some motherboards, this will allow the computer to boot. You should then remove SP2, turn the L1 and L2 cache back on, and then update the BIOS to reflect the correct microcode version. After completing these steps, you should be able to re-install SP2 without running into this particular problem again.
If disabling L1 and L2 cache does not work, you can use a second workaround : Boot the problem computer with an alternative OS or to the safe mode command line if possible. Assuming you can get to the Windows directory on the boot partition, navigate to this file and change its name so that it does not load the next time the machine is booted:
windows\system32\drivers\update.sys
After rebooting you should be able to install XP SP2, but keep in mind this is a temporary fix?the system will be unstable until you update the BIOS and reactivate the update.sys file.Trust no one there all snakesComment

FYI, Microsoft has *claimed* that most problems of this kind have been
caused by installing SP2 on a PC which has spyware installed.Comment

Ironically, most spyware is successful because of the insecure nature on Microsoft products. So for them to try to blame people's computer problems on spyware is really just blaming themselves.I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

This reminds me of the alternate version of the "The Three Little Pigs," the classic childrens fairy tale. Once upon a time there were three little pigs...etc..etc..Originally posted by irishfury

...So all the pigs are sitting in the check-out aisle of Wal-Mart. One pig has some straw, some nachos and a six-pack. Another pig has a bundle of sticks and a box of wheat thins with the cheese in the can that you squirt. The third little pig has an X-Box and a 40-inch flat screen TV. The two other pigs look at him funny.
"Shit man," says the third pig. "God damn wolf is just going to come back with a pick axe or like some TNT, maybe a shovel. I'm thinking bulldozer maybe. Hey can I hang with you little pig with the beer, I'll let you play Ghost Recon."
