vista sp1 stage 3 loop

I went to updates and my laptop is trying to install vista sp1, well it gets stage 1, and 2 installed, but when it gets to stage 3, it gets as far as 100% of stage 3 then restarts and does stage 3 all over again. It does this over and over and over. I can't stop it, I can't do anything at all. I tried safe mode but it still does the same loop, I tried to set it up to just boot from the DVD drive and it wont do that either. HElP!!!

Welcome to the Vista Forums

My advice: goto the source. Talk with the experts.

Here's a link to the free support page for SP1 from Microsoft:

https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...4&gprid=500921

I hope this helps.
