This has been an ongoing issue since my first attempt to configure it on 24 June 2011:
It always reboots @ 10% during the configuration; restarts @ 7% configuring, then fails completely @ 10%.
Error: ERROR_NOT_FOUND(0x80070490)
STEP 1:
Before attempting any fixes, this was the result after attempting to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1:
Code:
Installation was not successful
Element not found.

STEP 2:
Followed the error hyperlink (
Troubleshoot problems installing Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2) to Microsoft’s troubleshooting page where the following steps were outlined:
(1) Run the System Update Readiness Tool
>> Downloaded and ran “Windows6.1-KB947821-v14-x64” on 01 January 2012
(2) Run a troubleshooter
(3) Turn off security programs
I followed these directions carefully and received the same error message after attempting to install and rebooting after each step.
STEP 3:
Conducted Google search on “Windows 7 Service Pack 1 unable to update” and found this forum/thread:

>STEP 3.2A:
Attempted to check for damaged or corrupt system files using the system file checker (SFC) in the elevated command prompt.
Encountered difficulties due to the Windows Update tool settings.
Modified Windows Update settings according to Microsoft Community’s directions in order to allow the SFC to run by:
(a) changing the settings to allow automatic download, but let me choose whether to install them; and
(b) running “services.msc” and changing the startup type from “automatic” to “manual” (for this process only).
>STEP 3.2B:
Performed a system file check scan using the Administrator Command Prompt “sfc /scannow.”
This was the result: “Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.”
Rebooted computer and attempted to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 again. Configuration failed.
Received same error code:
Code:
Installation was not successful
