Vitsa SP1 update destroys my disk

To all,

I installed the Vista SP1 which is downloaded to my computer and after
that the disk is not bootable. This is the first time it happens. From
now on, I have to do an image back up of my disk before I update
anything. I have Vista Ultimate.

Any body has any idea in how to bring the disk back to the previous
version w/o SP1. It keeps going back to the safe mode,... normal boot
screen. Seems like a device problem with the SP1.
