Repairing computer from SP3 to SP2
I recently installed SP3 and it caused my pc to the never ending boot cycle. So I was searching about it and input the error in another computer on google "you computer did not find this file, so either use BART-PE or your Windows Disc to repair". I put in the Windows disc and it worked. I registered the product key again and when it booted then all the files were back. My question is that windows keeps telling me to install all these updates, naturally I just say ok to it and then fails and tells me to install again? Does anyone know whats going on? Thanks.

It seems to me that the SP3 update was not successful and you mentioned that your Windows disc repaired the system. Have you got SP2 installed prior to updating to SP3? Were your windows disc was containing the SP2 update? What is the current version of the OS? Check from start > run and then enter winver and then click ok.
