I had previously installed service pack 1 for Vista on one of my desktop machines several weeks ago. And I have had no problems at all. So I decided to go ahead and install the 64-bit version of SP1 onto my 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate. However, that did NOT work. In fact, it is rebooting itself over and over again. I have heard that this sometimes happens. However, I have not heard how to fix this problem, and furthermore I thought that Microsoft had fixed this problem before releasing SP1 again. I waited for that release before installing it the first time on my first Vista PC. Bottom line, what do I do to fix it? It will not log into fix, instead it spends its time going into the Windows Error Recovery window, from which I can do nothing, and then it restarts itself again. So it is now in an endless loop. This really sucks, as this IS my primary development machine!!!!!!! So, I really need help here. Please, let me know what I am supposed to do, or point me to where I am supposed to go, to get this fixed!!!!!!!

BTW, I forgot to mention that trying to start it in Safe Mode does not work! When I do it gets to the point of running crcdisk.sys, stops for a bit and then reboots itself.

And given my current predicament, how do I fix crcdisk.sys if I cannot log into Windows?

looks like it has to do with SATA drives and or raid disks (mirror/stripe etc).Doctor Who said:RodAtWork said:*snip*What is crcdisk.sys a driver to? And given my current predicament, how do I fix crcdisk.sys if I cannot log into Windows?
do you have a raid set?
sata controler?
do you have your vista dvd to do a repair with?
did you get sp1 from the windows update service?
did you read the msft kb on vista sp1?
did you backup files before doing sp1 ?

I do have a SATA drive, and therefore a SATA controller. I've also got the Vista DVD, so I could do the repair, but what do I do next? I mean, once I get the Repair OS going, then what do I choose?figuerres said:

Why not use System Restore to get yourself back to a pre-SP1 state?
