Hello,
Repair does not copy files from the DVD.
Repair only copies files from the cache on the local drive and only those
files that are cached.
The cache should have the SP1 files, so you will not have to reinstall SP1.
Now if during repair, you choose the System Restore option and choose a
restore point prior to SP1, then yes you would have to resinstall SP1.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
