Update xp to sp3 then windows wont boot

I installed Xp sp2 it worked just fine so I downloaded sp3 no when I boot I get to the windows screen (the one with the blue bar on the bottom) and won't go any further
anyone else have this problem
Any Ideas

Hi Kev
You were luckier than me - maybe - you managed to install the download but at least my Boot Camp is still working.
How did you manage to install it?
Each time I tried to install SP3 it told me there was not enough space and I needed to free up 4.4MB of disk space - even though I have 20GB of free space on the drive.
Now I have given up and switched off Windows Automatic Updates.
I figure someday soon, Apple will give us an upgrade download to Mac OS X 10.5.4 that will allow the successful installation of Windows SP3 within Boot Camp. Until then we keep soldiering on.
Must say I'm a bit disappointed with Apple that they expect their customers to solve their own problems.
For what it's worth, trying to upgrade SP1 to SP2 also required 4.4MB more free space. It required the SP2 disk to install. Maybe this is the same.
I also have a Windows XP PC laptop that is upgraded by downloads to SP3 so I won't be buying the program disk for Boot Camp.
Best regards
Charley

My Windows wont boot from the Recovery USB

Hi,
I created a recovery USB and when pressing f12 at start it does show me the USB as boot option. But when I select it nothing happens and it again shows me boot option.
THe space consumed by recovery media is 10.1 GB and it wont let me create it again . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, your installation disk is running under OSX??? If no the media has a problem!!!
1. Restart your mac and hold the alt (option key) to select media to install.
2. Restart you mac and hold the "c" key to boot.
an other solution is to make a partition on the hard drive and put a restore image of the Mac os X Installation dvd inside it then Restart your mac nad hold the "option" key and you will see the partition with mac os x installation and you can make a new installation from there.

Software Update went to sleep during install - wont boot!

Hi,
My friend has a white macbook that she was updating to 10.5.2 just as normal using Software Update. While the update was installing she closed the lid and thus putting the computer to sleep.
When she opened it the next day it said the install was done and that a restart is required - when she restarted it the computer wouldn't startup!!
It gets to the grey screen with the apple logo and the progress indicator but nothing ever happens!
I have used the Leopard disk to repair the system but nothing helped!
She really doesn't want to have to archive install, are there any other options?

When I select the hard drive in the installer it says: "You can't install on this volume becuase it doesn't meet the System Requirements"!!
*what now!?*
I would boot into the Leopard DVD (hold down "C" when booting) and in the Utilities folder run DU and do a disk repair and permissions repair. That should take care of any file corruption that occurred.
Then see if the system boots. If not, try the Safe mode (boot holding down the spacebar) and then let us know what happens.
Don't give up and reinstall unless we have eliminated the impossible and the most highly unlikely

Hello

The only solution is to rebuild Windows after loading BIOS 1.4???
Help

Hi !
Well, I have that problem, too. I think the reason is a new RAID-BIOS-Version built in the BIOS-Update. I´ve tried the beta-versions V1.51 and V1.5X, too - but they won´t run anyway.
My WinXp hangs while booting (before the WINDOWS-XP-Logo appears, or while fading in...). I cannot reinstall Windows completely because, when I install the 2 raid-drivers, the installation routine hangs before the licensetext - when I don´t install the drivers i cannont install on the raid-drive (beacuase the installation routine shows 2 hdds).
I think, a new driver will solve this problem, but I don´t know where to find it....

Updated iTunes, computer restarted but now wont boot up.

Today the kids updated iTune on their mac, the computer restarted now its been stuck on the gray screen with the loading circle and apple symbol, when I tried to do a safe boot it went to the file with a ? on it.
I've tried most things that apple recommends doing, we updated recently to the newest OS but we have no install disks.
Apart from dragging a 24" into the city to get fixed, are there any other options?
Thanks.

I've left it on for awhile now, the spinning globe (loading circle thing) has disapeared, the apple logo is still there, but does nothing else.

Updateing movies in itunes then movie wont work???

hi there can anyone help me with this promlem!
when i try to change the name or put the artwork on some of my movies in itunes, it wont do it then the file/movie wont work??
does anyone know what the problem is?
any advice would be great.

Whilst I'm not absolutely sure what happens to the macroblock count when using the anamorphic flag, plain old mpeg4 does have low limits compared to AVC and I suspect you may be exceeding the mpeg4 resolution limit of 720 x 432. I feel that if you were to use AVC rather than mpeg4 your problem may well disappear. Your encoding times will increase, but so will your quality, mpeg4 at 1500 kbps is not really the best quality. Think of mpeg4 quality being half that of AVC at the same resolution, so your output quality is equivalent to AVC at 750 kbps, I use AC at 2500 kbps and many go even higher.

Ipod not reconized by windows, wont boot up, wont fully charge? Stuck

Hiya,
My ipod will not boot up anymore, it simply either goes to a screen where the battery bar is charging, but it doesnt charge up further than the first segment then when I plug usb in it boots up with the apple logo, then goes straight to the recovery screen.
Ive tried everything, DFU mode, sifferent usb slots and othing seems to work. All the computer does it specify it as an 'unknown device' I tried forcing the drivers to it too but it didnt work either.
Any idaes?

There might be something wrong with your cable?
Is there are any discontinuities in the cable, the computer might not recognize it and send it power. the refusal to boot might just be the low battery.
I'd try connecting it with a different cable (borrow one from a friend maybe) or charging it in a dock (same as above; if you don't have one try to borrow one) and if it works, you'll know that's the issue.

TS1369 ipod not recognised on pc or in itunes tells me to format disc k then windows wont do it

when i plug ipod in it is not recognised in either itunes or pc

I had the same problem... where the updater software couldn't even recognise the iPod. I took my iPod to my roomates computer who doesn't have the latest iTunes installed and voila it worked fine... so I figured it must be the software.
I uninstalled all the software including iTunes and the iPod updater program. After I did that, I re-installed the software using the original cd that came with my iPod. When I did that, the iPod was restored and it now works.
If you are having this problem, and did this and it worked, do not try and transfer your music back to your iPod using the latest version of iTunes. I think there is something buggy with the latest update that is causing a lot of problems with people's iPods. I honestly have my iPod sitting in a drawer with no music, waiting for another update from Apple.

T60 wont boot ~ I NEED HELP ~

H'ok.. So I was going to try to fix my friends T60 but I'm worried this is kinda over my head..
She came to me and said the OS was currupt and asked me to install a new os onto her laptop..
I was only able to install anything when the built in Wireless card was disabled..
Whenever you enable the wireless card, windows wont boot (all versions) nor will Windows installer boot..
Linux will boot though with the wireless card enabled.. but wont see a wireless network.
I've checked the hard drive and the ram.. both are ok.
I tried swapping the wireless card, but that didn't fix the problem..
Could it be the motherboard?
I need help! PLEASE WILL SOMEONE HELP!

K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot. Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive). The lights on the D-Bracket 2 get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red. I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
Thanks
Grant.

power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
Looks like I'm back in business now. I found similar instructions at this location http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode. I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep. Not sure if this is ok. Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???. Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep. Windows looks ok. 6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more? BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work. Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI). The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).
