I had to re-install windows xp professional on my son's dell laptop computer. After re-installing xp pro, it automatically popped up and asked for service pack 2. After putting it in the laptop, I got the error that it needed the asms file for sp2. I copied it from my own laptop and it accepted that, asked for the sp2 disc again and now I have an error - NT5INF.CAT file cannot be found. When I look it up on my computer, it's part of the asms file. I am frustrated beyond belief with this computer. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Microsoft is of no help! Big shocker! Thanks
