    I got my windows 7 DVD when it first came out. It's an "upgrade" DVD but I have always done clean full installs from it

    When you read the tutorial I posted from Brink.
    Did your upgrade DVD come with SP-1?

    Believe me we have a tutorial on this forum for any proper way to install Windows 7. The tutorials have worked for millions.
    You let the members here know what you have and what you want to do they will get you there.
    All methods will require a proper COA.

    What is the Windows Certificate of Authenticity?



    Information
    This will show you how to do a clean installation with a retail Windows 7. A OEM Windows 7 may have a few different screens than below, but basically the same.

    Yes, you can do a clean install from a upgrade Windows 7 version. :)

    Taking as a given that you are installing with an original Windows 7, non-SP1, DVD, you must install SP1 alone. You should install the SP first, before any other updates.

    One thing I recall about SP1 was that there was a long period of time after the first restart before Windows finished configuring the update - something in the order of 30 minutes. A lot of people get impatient and start doing other stuff before it finishes and this led to some failures. Wait for all HDD activity to stop before doing anything, and then restart for good measure.

    I activated windows and got the genuine logo.

    But for some reason sp-1 fails every time I try to install it

    Or you could do the install as per the tutorial.
    I'm not understanding why you are fighting the methods of the tutorials.

    Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River



    Note
    If you do not have a Windows 7 with SP1 installation DVD/USB, then you can download the latest official Windows 7 with SP1 ISO file here: Microsoft: Windows 7 Direct Download Links, and use Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool to create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive with the ISO to do the clean install with.

    i am downloading the ISO image of Win 7 ult x64 with SP-1. Its taking a LONG time to download. its going between 6-10 hours for some reason and i have awesome download speeds from my isp.

    Once i get it downloaded i will make an ISO image on a flash drive or DVD and give it a try.

    Clean install windows 7 guide is one i have used for years and do everything correctly.

    Hopefully this will work. i tryed installing SP-1 first before any other updates and it still failed.

    ill will keep you guys updated. gotta wait for this download = / do you guys use the "Download Manager" from the site i am downloading the ISO img from?
