sp1 install hang up, need help

hey people,

i tried to install sp1 on my laptop and it did not complete. it got hung up with this on teh screen: !! 0xc0190005 !! 18500/69056 (\registry\machine\schema\wcm://microsft...)

if i power it off it reboots and says starup failed then it does a scan to fix the start up which doesnt work then it shuts off and im back to square one.. any help with this is much appreciated.
