Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

Ok, this is getting silly, I'm putting the error codes in to the Microsoft help and suooprt search bar and it comes back with completely different codes to what I'm typing in, which are totally un related ot my codes. Am I looking in the wrong places?

Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

It seems the answer is No, Access is denied for taking full controll over the C: Drive because thins like c:/Boot is restricted, it wont allow me to allow myself access over the C

Disable UAC and reboot, then try taking ownership.

Try enabling the administrator account, set its password, reboot and use it.

Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

Personally, I would backup the data and start with a blank drive and reinstall the base product and immediately do SP1. You could buy a media kit from Microsoft that has Vista SP1 combined together.

You could create a new account with admin rights and try it.

Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

Right, Ive re-installed several times, but I'll give it one last try,My Ultimate CD is a System builders ( OEM ) Copy. What tips would you suggest, maybe there is something I have not tried yet when doing a clean install from a Format.

Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it

OEM? This could be the problem. Was it the OEM for that exact computer? OEM CDs are designed to installed on a certain computer with certain drivers pre-loaded on the CD. It strips off the other stuff not needed because its not on that computer. The retail version has everything that you would need. It can detect hardware and lay down the proper drivers.
