Ok well The recovery discs worked perfect and I now have a fresh install of vista on my laptop.

OK now I should update update update but I am wondering do I need service pack 2? I have heard that some people have had probs with sp2 and windows 7 upgrade
Don't worry about the updates. You are not actually updating Vista as an OS. You are replacing it.
Precisely as Antman says. If you are doing this "half clean" install, you don't need SP2. Just the first round of updates.
