Hi again,
Dual boot XP and Vista.
I can install any Vista updates except service pack 1. It gets to 98%. Jumps to 100% then, reverts changes as "some changes could not be completed, Reverting changes, Will retry on startup".
Any ideas?
Thanks. You guys are the best.

XP Media Center Edition installed on new computer. Installed Vista on seperate partition after "UPgrades" were mailed out.(last year) All was working fine until....
Some things were not working properly any more so I figured I needed to "refresh " XP.
Ran the XP CD, chose install> upgrade...
Hi all.
I installed Vista on a seperate partition from the DVD. After trying and not being able to find any connection to the internet, I decided to give it up and delete the install from XP.
All I need to know is how to get rid of the windows (Vista) choices at the boot screen.
My usual boot...
Thanks for the help. I hope you guys see this 'cause its been a long time since I've had a chance to get online. Not like I did'nt appreciate the help, I just was'nt around to thank you.
thanks Ed
Probably simple but the answer is passing me by.
in 98 and XP if I "open in new window" using IE 6.0 the new window(s) always open about 1/4 the screen size.
How would I get them to be max'ed all the time?
TIA Ed
No. Cant do a thing. I tried it all. Installed (upgraded) to ME last night. At least I can still use the programs that I was running under 98.
Now I have a new problem. every time dialup connects ME reboots. Im off to the forums to (hopefully) find a fix.
Good thing I dual boot or I couldnt ask for help.
When 98se begins to start I get a quick flash of the start screen then C: with a rapidly blinking cursor. XP starts with no problem. Any answer but reinstall. Both OS's are on the same HD.
Thanks Ed
And now ... the rest of the story.
Removed "everything" from the system. Bios went ok.:-)
added in floppy, booted from floppy. Good. Added master HD all went back to hell !?! It seems win xpdid something to the HD ... changed sector,head or cylinder numbers. I dont remember...
After detecting the HD's and CD's It just get stuck there, cursor flashing, but nothing else. When detecting devices it cranks up the floppy but, never again.
I've tried it with the battery out over night. Booted with it out, with it back in. With different startup disks and, with different...
I've spent the past few days "re-doing" my old computer. Did a low level format on both HD's, Formated, partitioned then, Installed win98se on Master drive (fat32), updated SE (extremely slow with dial up)updated drivers for every thing.
Had it all going very well ... until...
