During the install of SP3 about after 1/2 hour of installing files, message
appeared saying acess denied. The system then started to remove files
installed but never seemed to complete this phase when the system stried to
restart. System does not boot up past black scrren with xp logo. Opened in
safe mode twice and used system restore for the two most recent set points.
Each system restore took about 15 to 30 min to restore files but system is
still dead in the water and will not boot up. Help Please!!! What options do
I have besides a system recovery???

Thanks PA but my system is dead right now. Cannot boot back up after the
failed update. How can I get my system back up without a complete system
recovery?
