Featured Replies

I'm using Dell Inspiron 6400 ( E1505 ) and it comes with it own vista home premium reinstallation dvd.

Problem = It doen't comes with SP1 at all.

So, I want to go ahead with SP2 soon, as they comes out of RTM or RC1.

I would like someone to point me the fixes that I can apply on the SP2 OEM dvd for my laptop.

Vista SP2 requires SP1, whether you integrate or install after Vista is set up.
