I have a Compaq SR1403WM and everytime I try to load XP Service pack 3 my computor refuses to reboot . If I restore to a time prior to installing pack3 (ie. back to pack2 ) the problum disappears . Has anyone had a simalar problum ?

Could be drive errors, though, usually with them, something would be unreadable by now anyway, one would think.

I would say you may also want to download the FULL SP3 download for IT Professionals that they have SOMEWHERE on the Microsoft Support site. What this means is that it's not downloading the install media, it's installing from a full package stored on your HDD.

The above is also without knowing exactly WHAT, "will not boot" means. Could you provide more details???
