Service Pack 2 Problems

I recently installed a new hard drive on my computer and then used the
Windows XP Home disk that was supplied with my computer to re-install Windows
on the new hard drive. I then commenced updating Windows with the Windows
update utility. All was well until I tried to install Service Pack 2. My
computer would no longer start up properly. I started my computer in safe
mode and uninstalled Service Pack 2 and everything was working properly
again. If Service Pack 2 is a reccommended download how can I install it so
that my computer functions after the installation? What am I doing wrong?
I'm 100% sure there is nothing wrong with the new hard drive.

Try Installing SP2...........then doing the Update
