what disks do you have? if you have a windows xp disk try inserting this.
if you have a media centre disk labeled disk 1 then try inserting this.
I have had a problem where I have installed windows media centre and been
asked to insert the second disk and then asked to install the service pack
disk. This really means install the first disk again.

Subject: [access-uk] New computer dead in the water
Hi all.
I recently purchased an xp Media Center computer which was shipped with XP
Home to get me started.
My wife attempted to install the Quick Install Media Center package for me
today.
However, half way through the installation, I was advised that impportant
files were missing and advised to install the Service Pack, from a disk.
I chose not to leave the installation but rather, continue, planning to get
the service pack afterwards.
The installation continued then asked again for files relating to the
service pack.
I don't have a service pack disk.
The computer then asked for my XP home Os and because I don't have that
either, I continued.
My new computer now boots up to a point where it asks me for the Service
Pack again, and remains there
All I can think of is to restore the computer back a couple of days, but it
will not allow me. It's wanting either the Service Pack or the XP Operating
system, neither of which I have.
To save me a couple of quid getting everything set up, I was wondering if
perhaps there was anythinghthat I can do?
Best wishes.
Andy.
I've turned the computer off and intent to take it on Monday to the computer
shop along with all it's disks.
This will cost me a couple of quid, but before I do so, is there any way in
which I can re-boot and Restore the computer back a day or so?
If I could manage to do this then I could download the SP and then upgrade
to to the Media Center OS
