    Hi Brutus,

    If you do not have the SP1 installed, then you can run a repair install and should fix it for you.

    Repair Install For Vista


    However, you might try running a "sfc /scannow" (No Quotes) command to see if it can fix the system file for you first.

    It would, but that is not your problem. You have a problem with your
    startup routine as the boot process points to a partition that doesn't have
    Vista one it. What did you do that caused it. Did you create a new
    partition, add a drive, change something in the BIOS? Those are the places
    you have to start.
    You should try the startup repair before you do anything else as there would
    be fewer changes and you may get the boot files corrected for you.

    Yes. In fact this is the way MS tech support advised me to correct one
    corrupt file I had that would not allow SP1 to install. You can do it from
    the "anytime upgrade" DVD if you have an OEM installation.
