Vista SP1: failed installation

Hello,

I have tried to install Vista's SP1 twice and both times, my computer is not
useable for up to 2 hours (which would be fine if the installation were
successful), but the end result is a nice box which tells me the following:

Installation was not successful. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 was not
installed on your computer. Error Code: 0x80070020. See
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101139 for details.

I went to the web address, but found no details.

Windows Update could not install SP1 for .Net 1.1 until I uninstalled .Net
1.1 and then reinstalled it, so I thought that would take care of the
problem, but it did not. I have all the updates and am running Vista
Ultimate.

Anyone else having any problems like this? Any potential solutions?

I realize it is beta, but I would like to see how Vista can be improved.

Thanks,
