Help- system won't boot after sp3 failure

[Guest Bill]

During install of sp3 after about 1/2 hour of install received message saying

access denied. The system then procedded to remove files which never seemed

to complete. Then received a message saying system may not work and system

proceeded to reboot. Booting failed. Opened system is safe mode twice and

tried restoring to the last two set points. Each system restore took about 30

min and system is still dead and will not move beyond black scrren with xp

logo. Is there any hope of recovery short of a system recovery?

Be PATIENT. 3 posts in two threads is enough.

 

Someone will be back when other people have been helped.
