How on earth can I repair my Windows 7 now that it has SP1 and I only have the original installation disk? Surely MS doesn't leave purchasers of their OS without a repair utility after the first patch is issued?
Welcom to Windows Seven Forums.
Crazy as it seems, unless you have a retail or student version of Windows 7 SP1, you would need to uninstall SP1 first to repair your Windows 7, which if you can't boot into it leaves you with a bit of a dilemma.
Repair Install after SP1

Welcome JoeBush. Before you go to the trouble of a repair, what is it that is wrong that you want to fix? we may be able to help with that.
Or.... You could use your restore disk and backup that you so brilliantly created. :)
You can do a repair install over SP1 with the non SP1 disk, then put SP1 on again. Won't hurt a thing.
