Re: How to Delete SP1?

You cannot. SP1 can only be uninstalled if it was installed subsequent to
the installation of the OS. Your Vista was installed already at service
pack level 1 so there is no SP1 package to remove like there would be if the
upgrade had been done through Windows Update.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to delete it?

Re: How to Delete SP1?

One reason could be that his dvd is rtm. There are some operations that
require the dvd and the installed Windows to be at the same service pack
level. A good example is further down in the ng where a user bought a
retail copy of Vista Ultimate upgrade and discovered it was an older copy
rather than a newer one with SP1 integrated. He could not upgrade his Vista
Home Premium because he just bought the machine and it came with VHP SP1.
Since the dvd and installed windows are at different service pack levels,
Setup on the dvd will not let him perform the upgrade.

Not when the versions are different. Vista rtm and Vista SP1 are different
versions. If you got SP1 standalone on a dvd then you could use it to
upgrade Vista rtm but not when SP1 is integrated.
