SP1 hosed my system

[NewsBot]

I just went through Windows Update to get SP1. The Windows portion ran fine, I clicked "Restart Now", it went through two more shutdown parts, then rebooted. So far so good. Next it goes to the black screen with white text where I assume it is verifying files or something.

 

I get to:

 

!! 0xc0190002 !! 2340/123123 (cabview.dll)

 

and it hangs. According to the NTSTATUS page on MSDN, that error code is "STATUS_INVALID_TRANSACTION" which means "The transaction handle associated with this operation is invalid."

 

Google yields three results, two of which are in German.* I figured after XP SP2 deployments went relatively well and since the SP1 RC had been out so long there was nothing to worry about. I guess I learned my lesson. For what it's worth, this is with Vista Ultimate x64. Maybe Google will pick this up and someone will have an answer.

 

The icing on the cake is that I don't have my Vista disc with me and won't be able to get it until this weekend. Does anyone know if you can do a system restore after booting off the disc? It created a restore point before installing and I figure that's my best chance of getting back to normal without having to reinstall Vista.
