Windows xp sp2 update keeps failing

I get error code 0x80070017 when installation of sp2 fails.

Does anyone have a solution?

Are you currently running WinXP or WinXP SP1? Why didn't you install WinXP
SP2 4+ years ago when it was released?

Perhaps defrag the hard drive also.

Hello KButhorn,

0x80070017 -2147024873 ERROR_CRC Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for
installation are available, and restart the installation.

Restart the computer into safe mºde (F-8)

Clean up the system (clearing out all the Temp/Tmp folders, and included all
offline content, clearing the browser TIF, Delete Cookies , do a Disk
CleanUp.

Click the Start button . In the Search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in
the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

Run SFC /SCANNOW
System File Checker (SFC) checks that all XP files are where they should be
and that they are uncorrupted.

damaged or modified.
