Is it possible to repair an installation of sp2 with an installation disc of vista (without service pack)

I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 installed on the drive. But I have an original DVD of Windows Vista (without service pack). Can I run the repair utility on this disc installation DVD? Will this work?

Hello

Loy is not going.

You will need to uninstall the Service Pack on the operating system that is installed to do a repair installation upgrade with this Microsoft Vista DVD which has no Service Packs on it.

The Service Pack on the DVD must be at least the same as the operating system Service Pack level installed to make it work.

  • I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

    I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

    Hello

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

    Method 1

    Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

    This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

    (a) minimal

    (b) network

    (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)

    For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems

    RESOLUTION

    (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG

    (b) click the Boot.ini tab

    (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]

    (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT

    (e) click OK

    (f) restart Windows

    The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

    Method 2:

    If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

    Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 has to Service Pack 3?

    I have the original disc of the product. It came as Windows XP SP1a. At in the past (a few years ago), I've upgraded to SP2. I started to receive a STOP error message. I tried to repair the installation of Windows XP Edition family. I can't say for sure right now, but it seems that SP2 just disappeared..., do not know immediately. I always face the STOP error.

    When I get things and rerun, can I put SP1a directly to SP3? I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

    Ask the same question in a different way..., can I've actually updated to SP3 Service Pack while jumping on SP2?

    Windows XP Home Edition has always been easy to use. I wouldn't lose it.

    The answer could be just a YES or a no thank you for your time.

    I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

  • Is it possible to integrate the service pack 2 for Windows Vista?

    Hello

    I bought a full copy of Windows Vista Edition full in 2007 but I have not yet used.  Since the recent availability of Vista Service Pack 2, I wonder it would be possible to combine or integrate service pack 2 with my Windows Vista Ultimate DVD disc to a new blank DVD disc?  In other words, I would like to create a new Vista DVD installation disc that combines my copy of Vista Ultimate with the new service pack 2. Thus, I would avoid the process laborious and tedious installation service pack 1 and service pack 2 on windows updates.  Or do I need to have a copy of Windows Vista with service pack 1 preinstalled DVD disc before attempting to integrate service pack 2?  Please note that my installation of Windows Vista Edition full DVD disc has no service Pack1 preinstalled.

    I know that this was possible with Windows XP but some kind I've read reports recently that it is not possible with Vista because service pack 2 is not a cumulative update and the service pack 1 must be installed before you attempt to integrate service pack 2.  Is this true?

    I would be obliged if anyone out there can clarify this issue.

    Thank you

  • Vista Service Pack 1 update fails - computer will not start and cannot be repaired

    The computer which is an Acer desktop computer, running Windows Vista Premium.  In the last 6 months updated Vista tried Service Pack 1 update to install Vista about 8 times and failed every time a reason any.  Just before this latest incident, a facility was "cancelled" in the Middle for some reason any.  I restarted the computer and almost immediately was advised that there is an update, which turned out be SP-1.

    I started the update, and some time later I received a message that the update was successful, and that he had to be restarted the computer.  I clicked on the button restart and the Installation continues during the shutdown.

    When the computer tried to restart initialization failed and I ended up after several lines of information that looked as if it might be checking drivers and then information began to look as if she might be reading the register lines.  Each line has 2 numbers separated by a slash (/), who scored on a single line at the top of the screen, (white letters on black background) after a certain time the count to stop with the line of text of flickering on the same entry.

    It is the line that goes to the screen when the information keeps changing.

    !! 0xc01a001d!  37636/92292 (\Registry\Machine\components\winners\x86...)

    Since the failure of the Windows Vista SP1 update, when the system begins to start, after a short while, he starts playing what seems like lines in the registry, and after a few moments he always stops with the same accurate information just flicker.  At this point, it seems that this scenario will continue forever.  The hard drive is accessible, as if trying to read something, over and above.  The hard drive light flashes, instead of being on regularly, but only for a while.  After that, even the flickering stops.

    I have tried to start mode without failure, then after loading some files and after some time (5 or 10 seconds) the displayed files always end with the same file at the bottom of the list and what seems to be a status extend the message please know...  Shortly after the screen is empty, the fails to start and the computer is restarted.

    Usually what will happen is that the computer will begin to start up again, but because the previous boot failed, it asks if you want to go to startup repair, which, at first, seems to work fine, but after a little time it brings up a dialog box asking if you want to restore to the previous good Restore Point.  The display will then return to the same routine he had previously, and she runs to always if not interrupted.

    If you click the Cancel button, a message appears indicating that you cannot interrupt the current process, so the only way that you can try something else is to Shut Off the Power in now the switch down, permanently.

    [Note: the notes above have not all accurate messages, Word for Word, exceot for the Hex error line.]

  • No disk Vista installation - bad/missing file on reboot prevents the go mode without installation disc required

    Is it possible to get an installation disk of Vista download image/content.  I have a valid code of MS for Vista, but there was no installation disc provided with the computer at the time of purchase (without recovery disc either).  An installation disc is required to restart the computer to restore startup files that have been corrupted or damaged in case of overheating of the CPU.

    If Windows Vista was preinstalled on your computer, contact your computer manufacturer and ask a Setup for your model disk. Boulder computer Maven

    I installed Service Pack 3 on my Windows XP Home Edition and once the computer restarted I had a black and white screen saying that there is a power failure or something else and I could either start my computer in safe mode, normal, or the last known configuration.  Well, the only way that I even get to the login screen is choosing safe mode. The other choices keep simply by restarting the computer and I to return to the black and white screen.  What can I do?
