Windows 7: the latest windows update cannot be removed

Hi rick33,

So is it still installing Win 7?
Yes, you can put the battery back in.
What do you mean DVD's and reading them?

"So is it still installing Win 7?"
it should be installing whatever was there before. probably not with SP1

thanks

PS replacement battery available from a non Toshiba brand

Hi rick33,

Rick33, AGAIN, please use the QUOTE button when responding!

If it is re-installing fom the DVD you made then it HAS SP1 because the ISO included SP1! The install you are performing is a clean install and will therefore delete everything previously there and replace it with a clean fresh install of Win 7 SP1!

You probably DON'T need a replacement battery. You can test out the battery when you have finished installing Win 7 by removing the power lead!

Well I am typing this on the formerly dud T-17 Laptop. THANK YOU

i had made recovery disks in 2017. that is what i used.

now i probably need to download all the updates from 2010!
does not look like i even have SP1 although strangely I found this...
thanks

Hi rick33,



So we have all wasted our time on this then trying to get you a fresh clean Win 7 SP1 install!

Who knows!

Who knows!

i vaguely remember a post about something that installed all the updates without the ones that have to be removed.
also will the SP1 disk we made update this computer to SP1?
I think i need SP1 to get other softwares to work.

thanks


UPDATE ran winupdate and it is installing the SP1

so far this is all it found
and 2 others snuck in

How is a user supposed to know which one to download?
thanks

re the SP1 disk - help!!! thanks
(internet was off)
PLEASE dont give up now- we are so close to fixing this

thanks all
now have SP1
