Anyone here have a P4P800-E Deluxe, Windows XP Home and SP2 installed? Any
issues to know about? My system has a P4/3.0C, WD SATA HD and second IDE
HD, 2GB RAM, Matrox G450, and a couple of other peripherals.

I've installed SP2 on an ASUS CUV4X-E and a Dell laptop (both XP Home) with
no problems. Before installing SP2 on my "mission critical" desktop, I
thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

I've got a P4P800-E Deluxe, Windows XP pro, SP2 installed with 2
120gig sata's off of ICH5R. Was set up in raid but found no real
reason to gamble with corruption as the speeds were not much better
than separate drives.
Water cooled Koolance 2.8@3.2 just a perfect system.

No problems here 2.8Ghz Same as Niclaas above but XP Pro, air-cooled
NVidia GF2 440MX acouple of WD PATA, 2 DVD burners.
The pop-up blocker in IE is catching a few that NIS lets by.

How are those Samsungs Niclaas?
I am thinking about getting a pair for raid0.

Thanks for all the replies to my original post. I'll go ahead with SP2
tomorrow.

Using similar hardware (P4C800-Deluxe -- not E version), SATA+PATA drives,
FX5900 graphics; the SP2 install went smoothly BUT two minor issues came up.

1) My DVD writer (IO Magic 1008 - some generic TW brand) would not hold its
DMA setting after SP2. I solved the problem by upgrading and re-flashing its
firmware. Check your system event logs for atapi timeouts and the IDE/ATAPI
properties in the Device Manager. IO Magic's tech support was way off in
trying to help (they suggested reverting my SCSI drivers -- but this is an
ATAPI device).

2) Mathematica wanted a new license key. Reinstalling the program fix the
problem, and I was able to use the original license key with out problem.
(that's and issue with license management, not SP2).

There could be a problem with the Prescott. If you succeed in the upgrade,
please let us know (my email address is at the website in my sig). I have
not yet been in contact with ANYONE who has suceeded an upgrade or clean
install of SP2 with a Prescott or Extreme Edition P4.

Cari,

I just installed SP2 from the file I downloaded here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] laylang=en

The install went without any problems -- took about 15 minutes or so.
After completing the install and rebooting, I opened all the applications I
commonly use. In fact, I opened them all at the same time. (OE, IE, Word,
Excel, Quicken, Photoshop, Roxio CD Creator and a couple of others.) All
opened without problems, though I did not do much with any one of them.

My system:
ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe
Pentium 4, 3.0C
2GB Mushkin RAM
WD SATA HD
WD IDE HD
Plextor DVD/CD/RW
Faxmodem

It's my understanding that the P4/3.0C is not a Prescott or Extreme Edition
P4, so maybe that's why my SP2 update worked without problems.

John

Damn, and I thought I'd found the first successful Prescott with SP2!

Still I'm glad it all went successfully, 3 out of my 4 PCs LOVE SP2, the
other one isn't so happy!

Cari,

I'm three for three -- all of my XP systems took the SP2 update without
problems. In addition to the P4P800-E Deluxe system, one of the others has
an ASUS CUV4X-E board w/P3 processor, and the last is a Dell laptop, 3-4
years old.

I have to confess I crossed my fingers when I started the update going on
all three machines.

John

I have a P4P800 Del w P4/2.6GHz 1GB PC3200 RAM, Win XP Pro in P-ATA
mode w 2 WD IDE HDs on the Primary and an ATAPI NEC DVD/-RW and IDE
ZIP on the Seconday. No SATA installed yet. ATI Radeon 9600 and SB
Audigy II.

I ~have~ encountered an issue after installing SP2, though I don't
know if its endemic to this mobo since I've seen people with similar
problems in other NGs.

The problem is, after installing SP2, I cannot get XP to use DMA data
xfer mode on the Seconday IDE channel. All devices use PIO mode
regardless of the setting in Device Manager. I attribute this to SP2
since if I uninstall SP2 and change the settings to 'DMA if available'
XP resumes using DMA mode on the devices. For now I am sticking with
pre-SP2 until I see if I can find a work around.

Bob,

How do I check if XP is using DMA mode? Thanks.

John
