Windows 7 kills 2nd Installation, no matter what I do
Hello All
I have a Dell E5410 Latitude and had 5 win7 installations earlier.
Later, only 2 installs behaved as windows (on rest, windows refused to accept as a valid OS).
I removed data and formatted the disk using linux. Later installed Windows 7 and it works good still.
Problem is, when I install another win7 in a different partition (Primary), it installs fully. But on rebooting goes to the Startup Repair loop.
Tried almost 11 times, then deleted partitions, resized them and again tried installing.

In earlier installs I found windows update did download, while restarting installed upto 30% and then failed to boot.
In the last install, I turned off the Automatic Update from control panel and from services also. 2-3 times it rebooted well, but when tried this morning, again the same startup problem.
What should I suspect and how to go about it? Any ideas? Thanks
