Windows 7: BSOD When Booting From CD - Page Fault in Nonpaged Area

Wow, I rarely see repair install fail. That system must have been in worse shape than we thought.

Are you now having to do a clean install, or were you able to get into Windows at all after that message?

When I rebooted, I got a message that the upgrade failed, and it spent about a half hour reverting to the previous version of Windows (whatever that meant).

It, thankfully, seems to be stable, and back in the same status as before I attempted the repair install. I will not be fiddling with it anymore.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I definitely understand your reluctance to change anything further. Glad it at least is back to its normal, buggy state.

If you really do decide not to mess with it any longer, I wouldn't do what you mention above without letting him know about it and making sure he was fully aware of the risks involved with leaving it that way.

Amazing how another night's sleep can change one's frame of mind.
