SP1 Killed my system

I previously had the beta version of SP1 installed on my home box for testing
purposes. Everything runs smooth. RC1 comes out so I decide to update to this
version but in order to do that I must uninstall the beta. I do that but when
I restart I get a stop message on a black screen about a file missing. I had
something similar to this happen when I changed Sata cards in the past. I am
thinking that during the uninstall it removed my sata drivers as well. I was
wondering if there was a way to install those back without having to go thru
a whole full install of vista?

A Beta is a Beta in any language. Reformat and install Vista back. Leave a Beta alone on a production machine or get another computer for testing purposes only
