Hi,

I have upgraded my home premium to Ultimate and updated all windows update.

The i have tried vista SP1 , when its installing the stage 3 it was keep on
rebooting.

I have tried to start in all the modes ...but it still doing the
installation and restarting.

When i checked with my recovery disc, windows not showing any restore point.

I dont want to loose any data in the laptop ...So i didnt recover my laptop
to its original state.

Then i tried to do the things in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358

I put my vista upgrade DVD and tried to do the 3rd step from the above link

when i do On the System Recovery Options page, click Command Prompt.


My system shows x:\sources

file and edit the registry:

I have started from the vista DVD and went to the option system recovery
option...When i open up the command prompt it shows x:\sources and then i
have tried ren %windir%\winsxs\pending.xml pending.old
