Hi, I have been running with SP1 for a while and after a few glitches the
reliability score has now reached 10! That's terrific!
But my hard drive space has shrunk so I'd like to cleanup a bit. I've
discovered the VSP1CLN tool which I believe makes SP1 fixed -- but I'm
cautious to use it.
If I run VSP1CLN but then needed to use the recovery DVD for
repair/reinstallation -- would it still work and where would I get to? Would
repair work? Would I recover to the 3/2007 date of the DVD and then need a
megaupdate?
If the answer is yes but there are issues I'd like to understand the
workarounds, thanks.

You don't want to run the cleanup for SP1. Your Recovery disk will report
you are using a newer version of Windows, and will not repair your install.
You would need to UNinstall SP1 to do the repair.
