I have a Dell 1520 and I downloaded Vista Service Pack 2. Unfortunately it is stuck at Step 3 of 3 (0% complete) and keeps rebooting. I have tried F8 with all options (last known configuration, safe mode, etc) but nothing works.

What can I do without having to re-install Vista and loosing all my work (which would be horrible as my backups are old)?

Thank you!

If you have a spare Vista Cd, boot from it and at the install screen select repair your computer.

Then open system restore from there.

Or, download this VRC:
neosmart.net

Then burn image file to CD and boot from it.

Vista is pretty useless at repair options......
