| Newbie | Re: Create a Recovery Disc Before I spend the hours trying, I'll ask if these seems possible. I was uninstalling sp1 rc1 to prepare for sp1 rtm install. The uninstall failed and got into reboot cycle where it could constantly BSOD on nvlddmkm.sys. I booted to safe mode and it continued on with the uninstall (supposedly). After it "FINISHED" the uninstall, it rebooted and came up to a screen where it said "service pack did not uninstall. reverting changes. do not turn off your computer". Now everytime I try to boot it, Last known, safe, safe w/network safe w/cmd prompt, normal, debug, etc. it says the same thing. This process seems to be for creating a recovery disk from an operational Vista PC but mine is not. But what I was thinking of trying was doing a clean install on a different hard drive on the same computer and creating the recovery disc. Then using that recovery disc to fix the other install. Do you think that will work? I have tried the auto repair startup from the install disc with no luck. I am just trying to avoid a reinstall. This whole event makes me regret rebooting my machine to do the rc1 to rtm upgrade of SP1. Prior to this reboot, my machine had been up for 48.5 days without reboot.

| Administrator | Re: Create a Recovery Disc Hi CheeseMan, Welcome to Vista Forums. ![]() Sorry, I do not believe that will work. The recovery disk here or on a Vista installation DVD will not help uninstall any SP1 version. I'm afraid a reinstall is going to be your only option in this situation. Be sure to backup anything you do not want to lose first though. Sorry, ![]() Shawn |

| Newbie | Re: Create a Recovery Disc Ugh.... I knew that was likely to be the case. It just stinks because I have a lot of programs to re-install if/when I decide to take that route! |

| Administrator | Re: Create a Recovery Disc I hear you CheeseMan. Since you have the Vista Ultimate edition, you can make a Complete PC Backup after you have everything installed and running smooth. This way if something should happen again, you can pick up where your last backup was in no time. Backup Complete Computer Shawn |

| Newbie | Re: Create a Recovery Disc Well... i think I found out why it got in the reboot loop. Disk filled up. Used up 50GB of space. So something went wrong. |
