computer restart problem after sp2 install

I RECENTLY TRIED ( AGAIN ) TO INSTALL UPDATES FOR MY COMPUTER ( SP2)
WINDOWS WONT RESTART, AND I END UP HAVING TO RESET MY COMPUTER TO A
DIFFERENT TIME. THERE IS KNOW INDICATION WHY, IT JUST DOESNT WORK.
I OWN AN E MACHINES T6000 W/ AMD 64 ATHON PROCESSOR. WINDOWS XP.

WOULDNT EVERYTHING RUN BETTER, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES?

1. How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer if
the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed successfully:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875355

2. Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, reboot tapping F8 again this time choosing Safe Mode.
Then System Restore to Date/Time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

3. Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:

4. When you are ready for SP-2, follow the Service Pack Installation

turn off or turn off would be a turn off.

do a clean installation of Windows.

make it a one-time deal by getting Ghost,
Acronis, or bootitng - a drive image program.

grim nasty answer, but you know it'd work.
