Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
I have a computer on which I have been running XP Pro for many years. The
system was upgraded from a previous windows using the original XP Pro Upgrade
CD. The installed system was upgraded using Internet download patches to SP2
long ago. I have installed a newer mother board in the machine and the
installed windows will not boot because of lack of drivers for the new MB.
When I attmept to re-install from the original CD, booting setup from the
original CD also fails because it is pre-SP2 (or SP1) and will not start with
the newer chipset on the MB.
I downloaded the SP2 setup from MS and created boot floppies. That version
will run setup to the point of needing the CD. It will not accept my CD
because it is not a SP2 CD.
So, my question is since I have a valid license for XP Pro on this machine,
is there any way I can get a SP2 setup CD that will install on the new MB?
Or do I have to purchase a complete new copy of XP Pro and spend even more $
on this computer?
Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
Your problem is not related to SP2, having an original or SP1 CD and an SP2
install will not prevent your PC from booting from the CD, you have other
problems, maybe with the disk or your CD drive. Check the BIOS boot order to
make sure the CD drive is listed before the hard drive.

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
I don't agree. The hardware is fine. I have installed a copy of Server 2003
by booting from its setup CD and the system is running fine with it
(different HDD) but I would rather have XP Pro back on the machine. The SP2
setup includes newer hardware drivers for current day MBs than the original
setup CD. The SP2 setup I booted from floppies got much further in the
process than the setup booted from the original CD. The original setup give
a stop 0x7E on pci.sys after loading the drivers and attempting to start
windows.

Once you have that created you can then use this CD to start a Repair
Installation which should correct your drivers.....and you should be able to
start the PC.
After which you will need to load the mobo drivers that came with the mobo.

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
Is the XP CD not booting at all, or booting and throwing an error? If you
cannot even boot from the CD my original answer is correct, if you can boot
from the CD but get an error after that, that is an entirely different
story.

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
The op stated booting setup from winxp cd fails because it is pre sp.
This err will occur if the installed o/s is sp & the cd is pre sp - occurs
during a repair installation

That sounds like something that might work. I check into it. Thanks for the

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
Not correct at all. It depends entirely on what the OP meant by "not booting
from the CD", nothing on the hard drive can prevent booting from a CD as the
CD boot happens well before the OS on the drive comes in to play.
He may be assuming that it is a service pack issue when it may not be. When
he answers my question about what exactly is happening then we will know.

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
Yes, David thanks for the suggestions. It does boot fine but after loading
the drivers and attempting to start windows it generated a hard stop. Your
suggestion is certainly valid if it would not boot from the CD. Thanksl.

Re: Need new setup CD for SP2 when mother board upgrade?
Exactly. But, it occurs during any type of attempt before it ever asks what
you want to do so it is not restricted to just repair.
