I feel that Microsoft has really screwed up their system. Up until the beginning of this year, I used to back up my system every night. This allowed me to re-install the backup if there was ever a problem. Around the beginning of this year, I had a crash but O couldn’t recover from it. Every time I recovered the system, The hard drive (backup) crashed and it never re-installed the system. After playing with it for awhile it looked like the problem was in the SP2. I have decided that in order to get the system backup, I would remove the SP2 from the system before backing up my system.
Has anyone come across this same situation and has anyone come up with a solution to the backup problem.

SP2 doesn't normally cause that kind of problem. I've restored backups from SP2 with no problem, so has millions of people that use XP.

usually when I have problems like that I have 2 options;

1. Spend countless hours of my already busy life trying to troubleshoot it.
2. Spend a few hours re-installing the OS and my programs.

I prefer #2.
