    If you chose to save the files that sp2 overwrites or removes during the install then you can uninstall it by using add/remove programs. If you didn't save the files, by default it saves them and you'd have to check the box to not save them, then the only way is to format and re-install XP.

    Hello and welcome.

    Doesn't slow it down at all. I wouldn't even know it was running if I didn't have the stats and monitor visible on the desktop.

    Regcleaner and ram booster do no good. I wouldn't advise using them. I use coolmon myself and recommend it for monitoring resources.

    I had to do this to fix the same problem. Copy ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini from the 300G drive to the main drive ( WD drive ). Boot back up. After it boots right click my computer and select properties > adavnced > startup and recovery settings tab. At the top you'll see default operating system. You should see 2 entries. Select the option for the main drive.

    If that is the case then the drive is dead.

    These should be helpful to show you how to do it. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308418 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;308419 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;307874

    File system type isn't the problem. NTFS is prefered for XP Pro. When the system hangs I assume you mean no mouse movement and frozen screen or does it go black? The first error in event viewer is related to Quicken. It is the Quicken update service. That isn't causing the problem. The second error is usually caused by a bad or uninstalled device driver. Only thing left to try is to copy WINDRVR.SYS from the XP cd to system32/Drivers.

    The only thing I could hunt up about the error is that it is related to Real Player. If you have Real installed maybe a re-install will fix the problem.

    You either have a bad boot drive or you corrupted it beyond repair. You might want to go to the drive manufacturer site and download their disk utilities to test the drive.

    Lets try and get the error message during the crash. Right click My Computer and select properties. Click advanced tab. In Startup and Recovery click settings. Make sure Write an event to system log is checked and that Automatically restart is unchecked. Now when the computer crashes it will display an error message. Post the message you get eaxctly as it shows. Also after you restart check event viewer and look for the error and post it.

    If you deleted the partition during install all data was lost. You created a new partition and in order to use it you have to format it. Not much you can do except pay big money to data recovery experts. They could possibbly get your data back.

    Welcome to the site.

    One other thing to keep in mind. Windows XP with no service pack installed will only utilize a drive 137 gigs in size. SP fixes the problem.

    Open regedit and search for pup.sys. When you find the key that references it delete it. Restart and the error should be gone.

    The only thing I can think of that you could try is to download a copy of western digital tools, they work for all drives and not just WD drives, and use the low level format utility to format the drive. Download the utility, disconnect the working XP drive, connect the non-working drive as master, put the WD tools disk in the floppy and boot to floppy to format. You might have to go into bios and set boot order to floppy, cdrom and hard drive in that order.
