Well yeah, it would seem that if there is a chance that a download could completely wipe out access for the OS, there should be some sort of warning or disclaimer. My reasoning was like Mitch said, I must have needed it to make the computer optimally secure. But noooooo....

My computer was running just fine before that download, it had a brand new hard drive and I was putting back the programs which I use. I checked the automatic update link in the Start menu and it said I needed to download that Service Pack. I can understand how I had a problem with the OS which caused the first couple of trips to the shop, after all, the hard drive was 4 years old, and I don't remember if I ever put the #4 download on it when it first came out in 2003.

I did not have an emergency reboot disk, just the original CD which came in the box for Windows 2000 Professional Edition. The computer couldn't do anything with that disk to find the OS.
