    Another thing that comes into play is Service Pack 1

    A service pack 1 install disc may not work on a machine that was originally sold or installed with a non service pack 1 Operating System.

    Don`t ask me why, but it`s happened.

    The computer was purchased in 2010. Is there any way I can verify whether or not the factory install included SP1?

    SP1 came out on Febr. 6, 2011. So a 2010 PC would not have it originally. But it could have been updated later to SP1.

    And AddRam is right. An SP1 disc will not work on a pre-SP1 system for startup/repair.
