quasar_x Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I keep getting the same error when trying to install SP1 for Vista. Just before finishing the installation (100%) it stops with an error and reverts the whole process. I have tried many suggestions with no success: disabling Antivirus-software, 3rd party firewalls, Nokia PC-suite... Now I read one case where somebody with the same problems and error code (80004005) stated that it might have something to do with the Vista bootloader being updated by SP1. The whole process might fail if you have a dual-boot configuration (e.g. with Linux or OS X) and/or if you are using 3rd party bootloaders. Has anyone of you already tried SP1 RTM and faced the same problems?

apowerr Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Why are you installing it so early out of curiosity? It won't be available through Windows update or Microsoft.com until mid-March. I really can't help, but I suspect that the problem may be due to having OS X on the same hard drive.

quasar_x Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Why are you installing it so early out of curiosity? You answered the question yourself. It won't be available through Windows update or Microsoft.com until mid-March. I know. Microsoft staff has confirmed that the March-version won't differ from the current RTM, so I expect the same problems later on. I really can't help, Ok. but I suspect that the problem may be due to having OS X on the same hard drive. That's what I suspect too.

quasar_x Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hrmm... I dunno, worked fine for me... What are your specs? Dual-boot with OSX? Same harddisk? What kind of bootloader/selector do you use?

Wayfarer247 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have Vista and installed SP1 RC. I had the computer Dual Booted at the time (with Ubuntu) and it worked fine for me. Ubuntu is on a seperate hard drive as Vista, as is Leopard (now that it is installed). I did a "repair" of Vista at one point which didn't mess anything up with the service pack or bootloader, I am using GRUB. I have a Dell XPS.

jvangent100 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Worked fine for me as well, I have triple boot with Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 and Leopard, I'm using the vista bootloader.

Colonel Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Colonel: I hate how that title bar takes up so much real estate... so much space wasted... lol. I don't mind it. Besides, that Window is only up there for a few seconds right after you reboot after installing SP1.

cmdshft Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's not just that window. A lot of windows do that. I'll post screenshots when I get to work today since my office machine is Vista Business (although I could easily Mac-ify it as the hardware is compatible for pc_efi and OS X). EDIT: Ok, so maybe I found just that one, but if that one is like that, how many more waste space?

quasar_x Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Finally managed to install SP1! In the beginning, also the final release of SP1 didn't install successfully and the installation rolled back at 100%... The problem was indeed the dualboot installation of having both OS X and Vista on one drive. When I moved Vista from second primary partition to first primary partition and marked it as "active", SP1 finally managed to install...

Thanks for posting your configuration. I was using the Darwin bootloader instead of the one from Vista, so that might have been the source of the problem.

Superhai Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yes i also had this problem and the solution was to set the vista partition active. Vista don't like the darwin loader.

Rockviech Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 its because of this KB935509 update. its an update for bitlocker which needs access to mbr. if u use an linux bootmanager, this update failes and vista sp1 fails too Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86545-vista-sp1-installation-fails-conflict-with-os-x-dualboot/#findComment-684925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, KB935509 is only available for Vista Ultimate and Vista Enterprise. But you are right in that KB935509 changes the bootloader, so it might in fact cause problems on some dualboot configurations.
