I was asked to look at a friends computer when they told me they stoped the
update, via the internet, of SP2 for XP pro. When I looked at the computer I
could not get Windows to load. I got to a C: and call up the directories
only to find no windows folder. There were only a few folders that I did not
reckongize. Is there any way to get the computer back to the way it was
before installing the SP2 update. Any help would be appreciated.

Then follow the Service Pack Installation Checklist to install SP-2:
