i had a failed SP1 install...

now im stuck with the system trying (and failing) to finilize instalation @boot,

the system after log-in thinks its SP1

SP1 uninstaller says it cant uninstall

SP1 installer says allready installed

SP2 installer says install SP1

is there a way to remove SP1 information, fool the system to think it doesnt have service pack and install it again ?

i REALLY dont want to reinstall windows. that would suck so badly that id rather stick with this pre-SP1 relic...
