Repair problem - how can I tell if my Windows 7 Pro CD has SP1 on it?
I need to do a repair on my OS which shows as having SP1 installed. It does NOT show if the SP1 was an instal from the CD or from an update. Problem is I have researched the way to do a repair and am more confused than ever. It would seem that if the original instal was from a CD without SP1 then I am unable to use the CD for a repair. Conversely I am unable to use a CD with SP1 [slipstreamed?] on it to do the repair. I have been around various sites many of which are out of date and none of which had a definitive answer or had files deleted [by MS?]. I realise that this problem has been posted before but have not been able to find a clear answer by searching. Without being aware of the contents of the CD [insofar as SP1 is concerned] I am not able to proceed.
I originally used an update CD from XP/Vista 32bit. Later updated from 32 to 64 bit with same CD set.
Help.
