Shawn, Thanks for the welcome and the response. After posting I re-read the tutorial and realized that was the case. Will try your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks, Joe

Brink I think I know why it's not working for my laptop.

When checking for window updates (it says checking for updates forever in a continous loop)

Any ideas why the "check for updates" continues checking and not finding any updates?

Mangoh,

Give it a try without checking for updates to see if it may able to still do the repair install.

Already have.

Same issue, it randomly restarts when reinstalling windows.

When restarting I get two options at the boot menu

1) Windows setup (new)
2) Windows 7 (default OS)

When I boot into the windows setup option I get "windows installation could not start"

When I boot into windows 7 (I get a message telling me installation failed)

Mangoh,

I hate to say it, but you might consider doing a clean install of Windows 7 instead.

One final thing and then I guess I'm going to have to give up

just ain't got an external hard drive big enough to backup everything (not got the money).

How about if I uninstall SP1 from my laptop and use my disk that doesn't include SP1 but is compatible as it is a 64 windows professional (same as my laptop if I uninstall SP1)?

If you think this stands a chance of working, any ideas for a work around as when uninstalling SP1 it gets to the end and does NOTHING

To be honest, I think a repair install may not be able to help with the issues you are having.

Are you able to create or use another partition on the same HDD to backup your data that wouldn't be touched by the installation process?
