Solved Failure configuring windows updates frozen

[MicroMister]

My install on Win7 64x SP1 was going fine until the windows update screen. I told it not to set up windows update, but it still wanted to do some setup. It restarted, and now always restarts to a screen saying 'Failure configuring windows updates, reverting Changes', and stays there permanently. How can I bypass this screen?
I already have a Windows installation on another HDD, this one was to be on a partition on a 2nd disk

Reboot to the Repair Environment, and use the option for System Restore from there.


reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.

Very possible that the download crc failed. I never like the idea of d/ling things during an install. You can do it once the system is up and running.
