It is nice to have an integrated DVD, don't you think?
If one needs to use one's original, non-SP Vista DVD for a repair of
one's Vista SP1 system, the disc will not contain the updated operating
system files required for correctly doing the repair.

Actually, its not unique to a particular DVD. It IS unique to a
particular _installation_ _image_.

Not only that... if it works the same as XP, it won't even let you
initiate a repair. You will get a message that the OS on the DVD is
older than the one on the hard drive.
That is *exactly* my primary concern and *exactly* my main reason for
wanting a Vista installation DVD with SP1 integrated into it.

You'll have to buy it at retail somewhere. And it will have to be the
same version that you now have installed.
Might be simpler to buy some imaging software and an external USB hard
drive.

The easiest (cheapest) way I can think of is to buy a generic OEM Vista
Basic 64-bit. As you have a key already for a different version, use that as
all the discs are identical.
Or find a friend who has a 64-bit retail/generic OEM disk!
How in the world would that get me what I want, which is a 32-bit Vista
installation DVD with integrated SP1?
