I tried to install SP2 on my XP Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

The install halted after downloading and extracting the files.

The Error said the I need to switch to AC Power.

I did and nothing happened.

After 5 minutes, I Rebooted.

Control Panals Add/Remove says I have only these Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) files:

See KB810243

What do you suggest?

Thank you.

Check with Toshiba Support for SP2-specific drivers and BIOS updates you may
need. Most of us are recommending that those with laptops, especially older
ones, contact the manufacturer for info on upgrading to SP2. I would not
upgrade until I got an "all clear" from the manufacturer as well as download
links for any model-specific drivers which SP2 would require.

During the install (I assume from Windows Update), make certain you're
running on AC power and that your battery is also in place, and that all
applications (especially your anti-virus) are closed. If necessary, try
installing in Safe Mode.
