So I have a new hdd in an hp desktop that came with vista ultimate. os restored with a few glitches. (i had to make the partition active and run bootrec/scannos for windows to load up and continue with hp recovery installing apps etc) Problem is everytime I install the service pack it restarts saying reverting changes, I did the full windows repair aio with no luck. Since its a brand new hdd and os restore im thinking it has to do with the hdd being an advanced format and or the storage drivers needs updating. Thoughts and experiences would be welcome:)
