I installed SP2 without a problem but when it rebooted it, it BSODed. The
error was the device was Unbootable or something like that. It boot to Safe
mode without a problem, so I have uninstalled it right now, until I find
out what the problem is.....

Dave;
It may be impossible to determine the cause.
Perhaps a file was corrupted upon installation.

When you are ready, install SP-2 this way:

I did check there, and I followed the instuctions. What strange it boots
in SafeMode, but not normally, even though the error is about the Boot
device, at least that my guess since its something about not mounting the
boot device. I just wish I could remember the error. I guess I will try
again, after its on Windows update.
