I wait at least 3 months (or until the dust settles) to apply a major upgrade to the OS. I go by the philosophy that if it ain't broke don't fix it, or as we jokingly say "Quality is job 1.01 at MS". Some experts tracked down the culprit, apparently HP/Q shipped all their machines with a driver for the Intel chip that has a problem with SP3 if your machine has an AMD CPU (there is an AMD driver available). http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/05/12/Microsoft-faults-OEMs-for-some-XP-SP3-endless-reboots_1.html Walter ----- Original Message ----- From: " capteric36" To: Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 12:31 AM Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] help with computer recovery (lengthy) > Walter, > I was using True Image 8 to do what you do.
