Error installing SP1 on Home Premium
I'm working on a laptop for my CEO, and after doing a bunch of malware removal and start menu restores, I'm left with an issue when installing SP1. The setup fails with the error described here:
Windows 7/2008 R2 Service Pack 1 fails with 0x800f0a12 - The Windows Servicing Guy - Site Home - TechNet Blogs
I see the problem can be related to the active partition, so I take a look in Disk Management. There's a small 10 MB partition at the end of the drive marked active. This is a gray area for me, so how to I best get the proper partition listed as active? See below for the Disk Management screen, and ignore the 4 GB Patriot flash drive. I plugged that in just to save the screenie.
