Hi
I have Vista first installed and Windows Xp installed 2nd as a dual boot, plus Ubuntu as a 3rd partition.
When I installed Windows XP as a second dual boot, I installed Windows XP Sp3 bet last version to avoid all the interminable updates.
Since the release of the official SP3 pack I have uninstalled the beta and re-installed the official release. This is all fine but I keep getting bugged by downlaods which will not re-install, and I can't hide them on the microsfot update page after they have failed to install.
I really do not want to go through the pain of a completet re-installation of win Xp due to the problems it causes with the Vista partition & MBR.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can clean up the Win XP install without causing all the associated problems with a dual boot systema and move to a full win xp sp3 install.
Thanks
Gareth
