XP SP3 update error

Hello,

When trying to install the SP3 update I get the following error... Error
Code: 0x80070017

Searching the MS site comes up empty. Anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks
Bill

80070017 ERROR_CRC
A device attached to the system is not functioning

Is an external drive (e.g., flash drive) connected to the computer?

If it's a laptop, is the battery inserted in its bay and is the battery
still functioning?

Why have you waited almost two years before attempting to install WinXP SP3?

Have you ever done a Repair Install of WinXP and if so, why?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you attempted to install SP3?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

You cannot install updates from Windows Update, Microsoft Update, or by
using Automatic Update after a repair install of Windows XP or after you
install Windows XP SP3 immediately after a clean install of Windows XP SP2:

I've attempted this update several times over the last two years with same
result. Just haven't take the time to pursue until today since I don't use
this laptop that often.

I'm running AVG. No external hardware to worry about.

I'll check your noted documents.

Thanks
Bill

0x80070017 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.


Reboot into safe mºde (F-8)

Empty user and system "temp" folders.

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.
