    OK, a repair install.

    The link in the tutorial shows these bootable options, but how do I know which one is right for me? The repair install will be for a Dell laptop, XPS L502X, which I bought new two years ago.


    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 (old)
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 RTM


    Thanks.

    The repair install seems to have worked well, and everything appears to be back to normal. Unless I discover something horrible, I have returned completely to the realm of happy camperdom. :)

    I can report that it took four "cycles" of identifying, downloading, and installing update files. I'm guessing Windows does this on purpose. I must have downloaded and installed more than 125 files totaling more than 300 MG.

    I can also report that it's essential to follow to the letter the repair install tutorial you had referenced. Excellent tutorial!
