[QUOTE="Furetto, post: 248584, member: 12375"] While a few days ago I reported having a perfect experience with Vista, I should now admit I had major issues while installing SP1. The source... not sure... some system partition issue is my best guess. I got overconfident and installed SP1, then proceeded to install the latest SVN of both MediaPortal and TV Server. This really messed up things. To fix the issues, I used System Restore and got back my perfect and stable MP install. Instead of being smart and make a backup of my install and all config files, databases, ... I proceeded to only reinstall SP1. The plan was to check if things kept running at that time. If they did, I would upgrade MP and then TV Server. At that moment, all hell broke loose... BSOD after final reboot of SP1. No way to boot into Vista. Even the installer DVD crashed before I could do anything. When I hot-plugged the SATA drive in another machine, it caused BSODs there as well. And with a cold boot as well. I tried salvaging some of my files using bootdisks, but several of them crashed while accessing the system partition. Now, three nights of 4-5h sleep later, I have a Vista with SP1 again. MP and TVserver are installed again. Some plugins are reinstalled, but I am still hours away from my customised setup... I tell everyone to make backups... but making them myself ? Nooo sir... I don't need to ! [/QUOTE]
