I can't uninstall service pack 2, since my installation cd came service pack 2 combined with win xp. Thanks a lot for the reply. I have tried doing that many times. The problem is I can't install the driver for Radeon , unless I have it connected to my computer.

Please let me know if you know any other ways. I can't uninstall service pack 2 that came with windows xp because it was combined. Thank you.
