Hi,

I burned an XP CD including SP2. If I try to use in order to fix the system
with the classical "Install" then "Repair", the "Repair" option isn't shown.
The only option displayed is "Suppress".

What did I miss ?

Thanks for any idea.

How did you "include" SP2 on your "new" CD?

If I were you, I would slipstream SP3 on the new CD.

===> I ran update.exe.

===> I'm not that enthousiastic about SP3. There are updates I don't need.
IE7 or IE8 for exemple. I use Firefox as a browser and IE6 is just rigth
enough for Windows Update.

I also created a winnt.sif file with setupmgr.exe. Might the problem come
from bas coding ?

There is really "not" an option to not be using SP3. Microsoft has
stopped all support / updates to any Windows XP that does not have SP3
installed. Windows Update will detect and not offer any newer updates.

Also, IE 7 and IE 8 are not part of the SP3 update. These are
separate updates.
