Cannot update Vista SP1, the computer restarts and goes into repair mode.

Im trying to install SP1 on a laptop with Vista installed. Everything is fine and the installation complete the part 2 or 3, then restarts. After that, I'll get the progress bar of vista for a few moments, then the screen goes black for a bit and then the computer restarts. If I restore to before SP1 has been installed on the computer is fine. I've run the preparation tool before installing SP update and that did not help either. Last know well is no help either. Any ideas?

    Answer 1: Try to restart the computer by pressing command + R. This should start the mac in recovery mode and will allow you to reinstall OS X (don't worry it'll only reinstall the operating system, your files will not be deleted)

    Answer 2: Can elaborate you more on what is the iCloud premium Amazon.com for photos? I've never heard of this, what error do you get?

    Answer 3: Open Bootcamp Wizard and choose the option "Remove Windows 7/XP"

    Answer 4: Mackeeper is ransomware. AKA. a scam, don't pay for it. You can use tools such as OmniDiskSweeper, which is free and shows you what are the elements take place on your mac so that you can delete what you don't want.

    Answer 5: If you have iCloud library activated under iCloud, then your images will be automatically uploaded to iCloud and equipment associated with your Apple ID.

    I would like to know if this helped you / resolved questions. Thank you!
