I learned about the old NT 3.1 RK tool delpart many years ago when a colleague interrupted an NT 4 SP on his personal WS because "it was taking too long" Nothing else would fix it. Couldn't do anything with the box until the partition was removed with delpart. I learned at his expense to never interrupt a service pack.

Either is starts were is left off or reapplies the patch(es). I had yet to have a system crash because I had to reboot on a "stuck" update.
