SP2 and Pro Issue..

Well I tried to install SP2 as advised by my windows updater, it installed most of the contents then randomly rebooted. Now I get a message saying that my SP2 was not fully installed and my comp is unstable...When I go to add/remove programs and try to remove SP2, it gets almost all the way through uninstalling it but then a quick flash of a blue screen and a restart...it happens everytime I try to remove it. Most programs work fine but it's just very unnerving to buy a new comp and not be able to use it to full potential and have updater tell you that your comp is unstable. Is there another way I can remove it or should I delete the partition which my friend suggested and totally reinstall Windows XP Pro. If I go with the latter, will I have to get a new CD-key or will it still work? ArGh! Help me!!
 
It will still work with the old product key.

I'd reformat and reinstall, then install SP2 as the first thing. If it's a fresh installation that only includes up to SP1, I'd just download the full SP2 installer from Microsoft and install from that.
 
mmm k, just wanted to make sure that I would see be able to use the old CD-key, otherwise..I'd be screwed. Thanks for the info guys
