If you don't have accesss to windows that you have another issue and you can forget about repair install.There are three below options for you: The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista

I tried these methods:
Method 1. i upgrade my SP1 to SP2 & windows couldn't repaired with Vista SP1 DVD

Method 2. after selecting safe mode & "please wait" page , nothing happens.
Method 3. same as method 1 issue.

Can i repaire my win. Vista ultimate X64 SP2 by buying a Vista SP2 DVD?

Grateful,

You cannot use a disk that just includes SP1 to repair an OS that has SP2 installed on it. You need a disk that includes SP2 to do that.

That is possible, if you can get hold of an SP2 version of Vista. Make sure that you get the 64-bit version. To save money, choose either the Basic or Home Premium edition and go for the Upgrade version. All disks are identical, and it is the product key which determines which edition is installed.

Really?

If read point 1 thoroughly you see this:

Quote:

Start Windows Vista:

Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the drive, and then restart the computer.
When you are prompted to start from the disc, press any key.
When you are prompted, configure the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method options that you want, and then click Next.
On the next page, click Repair your computer.

Select a restore point:

On the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
On the System Recovery Options page, click System Restore.
On the System Restore page, click Next.
Select a restore point at which you know that the operating system was working, and then click Next.

The restore point should be a date before the first time that you experienced the problem that is described in the "Symptoms" section. To select a date, use the Choose a different restore point option, and then click Next.
If you are prompted to specify which disk to restore, select the hard disk on which the operating system is installed, and then click Next.
On the Confirm your restore point page, click Finish.
When the restoration process is complete, click Restart.

Method 1 is not repair install! This is using System Restore from WinRE -the same method is here System Restore - undo(option one)

System Restore should work even if you use DVD without any service pack

...
Repair Install even using DVD Vista with integrated SP2 is only possible if you have access to Windows in normal mode...
