Vista Service Pack 1

[joydivision]

Is the hard drive original? I say that because modern advanced format drives can cause all sorts of problems with Vista. I found out that the hard way. In the end I had a massive head ache but I make a thread about it on here at the time and I solved it originally.

The way I solved it was to use an older none AF drive, install windows onto that with all the service packs using WSUS, then install Intel Rapid Storage etc, once this was working I then cloned it onto the AF drive and everything worked fine.

If this is the original drive then ignore all of the above.

Sorry,

It's worded as such:

"i think that's where i'm up to. looks like microsoft have taken down their iso site so now i'm looking for a reputable place where i can get a vista sp1 or sp2 iso."

My error.

thanks anyway

I believe it is the original.
