Unable to install Windows Vista SP1 ( Service Pack 1 )

Are you not able to upgrade to Windows Vista SP1

Windows Vista SP1 ( Service Pack 1 ) has been released is a story now. I have seen many guys not able to upgrade or install Windows Vista SP1. These admins face a lot of problems when installing SP1. I have listed out some reasons why these guys are facing such trouble when installing Windows Vista SP1.

1. Disk Space Requirement
The administrators must know the disk space requirements when installing the service pack.


The disk requirements for SP1 depend on what method you use to install SP1.

Installation method	Required disk space
Windows Update	• x86-based: 1,200 MB • x64-based: 1,500 MB
Downloading SP1 from the Microsoft website	• x86-based: 2,500 MB to 5,450 MB • x64-based: 4,100 MB to 7,850 MB
Integrated installation	15 GB




2. Check that no USB device is plugged into the system
3. No service pack has been installed earlier into the system
4. Laptop performing installation must be connected to AC Power
5. Insure your system doesn't have any corrupted file. Check it with chkdsk.exe
6. Be a pro and try not to install Windows Vista SP1 on a different OS like XP, 2003 , 95 and even on Linux.

BitLocker Multiple Partitions Lock not working

Unable to Lock Multiple Partitions in BitLocker

To improve local security access to a Operating System, System Admins do lock the hard drive partitions by BitLocker encryption. With Windows Vista , we were able to to lock only one partition of the hard drive but we were unable to to encrypt multiple partitions.

Have not you seen multiple partitions being locked by Bitlocker in Vista ? And of course you are unable to do so. The one point that you guys are leaving behind is Windows Vista SP1.

With Windows Vista SP1 we got an ability to lock multiple partitions on a system. Just check out your Service Pack and I hope this will help you out.
