i have had problems with vista ultimate 64-bit and sp1

you can read any of my posts on that and some others as well

here is my question : i am going to get a new hdd from wd they feel mine is defective

but when i do this and install vista ultimate 64-bit on the new drive i want to make sure i d/l Microsoft updates/files/programs for vista in correct order so i can install

SP1 before install any other program

IS THERE A CORRECT ORDER for updates/files before i install sp1

need to know before i do anything

p.s. if there is anything i need to know please let me know

Get WD tools and test your drive. I usually install service packs before patches.

As Michael stated, don't install any patches.
Install Vista, then install SP1.

so as soon as i install vista ulimate 64 go directly to sp1

and then let everything come as it does

Hello njnitehawk.

You should dl/save SP1 from here...

Download details: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone for x64-based Systems (KB936330)

Some people (me included) have had some trouble with SP1 from WU.
Also disable auto update while you install Vista.

Yes, install directly sp1 after vista, all the major updates are included in sp1.
