Dear all,

I get my PC permanently reboots after a service pack gets applied.
I have try anything I have find out the web based on this issue but no luck.
Even when I was trying to enter the recovery console, when selecting the
operating system to enter, then it reboots.

So as a lst chance I have started to repair boot system files by booting
from original Cd and then press ener to istall windows and then pres R on the
existing installation found. So far so good except that at the timeit reboot
to restart normally, I am prompt with the following message :

"The file 'asms' of the Service Pack 1 CD for Windows XP professionnal is
needed".

I do not have this CD in hands and cannot continue .

I have download the ISO image of the Win Pro XP1 (250 mb) and burn it, and
try it but no luck, the CD or the content is not recognized.

Does anyone could prompt me to proper ISO file for doanlowd and the way to
name or burn the CD in order it is recognozed ?

I need the french version of if

Thnaks for help
regards
serge

Is the pc powered by AMD processor? I Googled "windowsxp reboot loop
sp3" and got a bunch of resources. Try this one to start:>

Assuming you just installed SP3...

Make certain that your disk drive has the space required, at least 2GB for a
PC that is fully loaded with applications. This 2GB does not include the
recommended 15% free disk space requirement for Windows XP.

Install SP3 in 'Clean Boot' mode:
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
See the section titled: Manual steps to perform a clean boot in Windows XP,
skipping step 4.

Why clean boot:
A "Clean Boot" insures that only a minimal set of Windows Services and
applications are running. This means your Anti Virus software, third party
Firewall and other background applications will not be running; thereby
reducing the chances that installing SP3 will fail. Just remember to undo
the "Clean Boot" changes after installing SP3.

Do not use the Windows Update web site, if at all possible download the
service pack installation file directly to your hard drive and install SP3
using the file you downloaded.

Where to download the SP3 installation file:
(File is large but will only install components that your PC requires)
