Hmm..in that case, there shouldn't have been any problem but then again I do not know what kinda software related issues were lurking on the system, regardless repair-install would wipe out the registry and the Windows folder so previous installed applications or registry corruptions wouldn't have any effect so I am guessing something went ka ka during the repair-install unless you installed something (application, windows update, etc.) prior to the install issue surfacing....


Time to backup your data from the sata and do a fresh install?
