i have a 160gb drive that i formated to start fresh with and inserted disk 1 of 2 of my windows media center. the first disk seems to install fine but when it finished it says it is auto rebooting my system. if i leave disk 1 in my drive it tries to start up and recopy everything that it just did off disk 1. if i take it out and try to boot from hard drive it wont work and says boot from something else. i have 2 discs in my windows install and it never asks for disk 2. am i missing a step? please help me!!!
i got a little farther and now it is asking me for "windows XP professional service pack 2 cd" I dont have this cd or know what it is. does anyone know where i can get this?
You can download an .iso of Windows service pack 2 or 3 from the Microsoft website. Each .iso is all inclusive of the updates from the previous service pack. But why is the installation asking specifically for an XP Professional service pack on a Windows Media Center installation? I also never heard of Windows installaton CD packs shipping with a separate (much less specific) service pack disc.
