Repair Windows 7 with SP1
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
