SP 2 installation redundancy error<br />
<br />
My computer crashed? &nbsp;I had all the updates including SP2 on my computer. &nbsp;However, for some reason my computer would not not let me boot the computer; not even in safe mode so that I could access administrator. &nbsp;Completely frustrated, I reinstalled Windows XP with SP1, leaving the directory structure. &nbsp;I did not format the HD as I needed many files that I couldn't access. &nbsp;I got everything up and working well.<br />
<br />
However, now when I try to re-install SP2, I get a &quot;redundancy error.&quot; &nbsp;I assume that this is because of some files or folders that are still on my HD.<br />
<br />
I would appreciate any workable solution to resolving my problem of re-installing SP2.

SP 2 installation redundancy error

My computer crashed?  I had all the updates including SP2 on my computer.  However, for some reason my computer would not not let me boot the computer; not even in safe mode so that I could access administrator.  Completely frustrated, I reinstalled Windows XP with SP1, leaving the directory structure.  I did not format the HD as I needed many files that I couldn't access.  I got everything up and working well.

However, now when I try to re-install SP2, I get a "redundancy error."  I assume that this is because of some files or folders that are still on my HD.

I would appreciate any workable solution to resolving my problem of re-installing SP2.
