Win 7 will not reinstall, repeated error message as follows:
Was unable to DL Win 7 updates (error codes 80071A91, 80070643). Had previously formatted HD and installed Win Home Prem 7 SP1 32 Bit over XP. Ran for 3 years flawlessly. Started getting update fails about 2 weeks ago. Unable to resolve; contacted Microsoft and was told problem can only be resolved by reloading Win 7. Have attempted 3 times. Now PC is completely inaccessable and each time I get, after the install process goes thru all steps, the following error message: ''The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.'' I'm somewhat screwed as I need PC for work......any suggestions, please?
Further info: I followed the steps in sevenforums tutorials 1649 Clean Install Windows 7. Each time I got error message after step 9 was finished.
