Continuous Reboot during install sp1 on Vista Ultimate

During the first reboot after the second stage of Sp1 install the when the
computer started back up before the third stage of the install the computer
went into continuous reboot mode.

Tried:
Previous known good startup - keeps continuous rebooting
Rebooting in all the safe modes - keeps continuous rebooting
Booting from the Vista Ultimate install CD and doing a repair - keeps
continuous rebooting

Is there anything I can do besides totally reinstalling Vista?

Thanks

Re: Continuous Reboot during install sp1 on Vista Ultimate

You have not tried the System Restore available on the CD boot menu?
If no help, the Command Prompt option will let you chkdsk. Run the command:
CHKDSK /R
If no help, you should contact MS Support.
