    The PC is from 2007, so unless you have created the Recovery Partition on the D: drive yourself, it won't have Service Pack 1(February 4, 2008). You seem to acknowledge that as you write about 'downloading it in the usual way'.

    Back up, use the newly created Vista media to repair the the table if possible and then update to the latest BIOS.

    So won't Service Pack 1 come as part of the usual Windows updates? i.e. Once Vista is reinstalled and download updates take place, will SP1 be part of that lot?

    If not, why not - if I reinstall Vista from the recovery disk wouldn't install the lot?

    cheers
