When confident that the SP-1 is running perfectly and one wants to remove the Installation Backup Files:
1. Defrag the Mechanical Hard Drive to Zero Fragmentation.
2. Reboot
3. Open an Administrative CMD Prompt.
4. Type or Copy this command [ dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded ] without brackets.
5. Let the remove process finish and receive the Completed Prompt.
6. Close all and Re-boot.
7. Defrag the Mechanical Hard Drive to Zero Fragmentation.
8. Reboot.
@Seasider,
To be truthful, I don't know how much the Disk Cleanup will Cleanup. :)
However, I'm confident that the method above will remove the Backup Files properly.
Windows 7 doesn't pass the Grandma, Noobie OR even the Average User test when it comes to Complication.
It is by no means a simple O/S to operate in for anybody. (LOL) (LOL)
NO worries, we all keep learning until the day we move on. :)

I haven't found anyone talking about the particular problem I'm experiencing: I installed the "pre-release" of SP1 (Beta) and I need to uninstall it before I install the final version. However, my uninstall attempts fail. The message I receive post-attempt is this: "Failure configuring Service Pack. Reverting changes." I've tried doing the uninstall in Safe Mode but got the same result.
I was thinking I might have accidentally deleted the backup files made (by the system) during the Beta install. Does anyone know the folder path to these files so I can verify my hunch?

Now, i know, i should have done a wait and see approach on installing this, b/c it would have been a little less headache for me. But Im the type of guy always looking to pull every last bit of performance out of my PC. But seriously? ONE program i install and run...Driver Sweeper, and my whole install experience goes to hell? I tried all the other options, praying i wouldnt have to do the Worst Case Scenario...then i did it...i did an in place upgrade just to make SP1 happy. Now, i have a folder full of my old profiles, and being this is my first time having to do this...do i just copy the folder into my Users section and everything except for nearly everything i installed will be ok? i know im a bit off topic, but this is a headache trying to re create all the tweaks for all the programs, im just glad that i have the old user profiles so all the old scores on the games my wife and i had should be safe. Id love to throttle Phyxion. I will never use Driver Sweeper again

I have had enough problems in the last 24 hours with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to warrant an uninstall. between the 5 minute boot times, Flash player problems, Bink video problems in a game, Ive had enough. Its my own fault for being an early adopter and thinking this update would help me pull a lil more kick out of my PC, but until i see some sort of fix, I'm done with it. As it is, i had to an Upgrade Install to even get the pack to install (thank you Driver Sweeper). So, if you are considering installing SP1...wait it out.
well, i believe i have traced my two major problems to :
1) a faulty game install-re installing fixed it
2) i dont think ie 9 is ready for prime time..i went back and forth trying to get Flash to work with Youtube with no results, i must have gone to Adobe's page 100 times lol. (PS yes i am aware of the Hardware Acceleration tweak for Flash...if im gonna have it installed, i might as well be able to use it to its full potential)
And i installed and ran a trial version of Tune Up Utilities to see if there were any problems with my system. there were some and it fixed them.
Im debating doing a re install of SP1, but im not sure i want to invest all that time...
Fishlove,
I suggest a Clean Install of Windows 7 from scratch.
Then
Apply SP-1 Installation from ISO Setup Disc.
The reason is that from your posting above, the machine appears to still have many issues.
Tis a "Tuff" solution I know but is the BEST FULL PROOF SOLUTION.

I installed Windows 7 SP-1 about one week ago from the download with no apparent problems.
I don't know if this is related to the SP install or not but when I rebooted my computer after being away for several days
I was presented with the warning that I had a illegal copy of Windows 7. I had done a new install of 7 on a new hard drive
and had been using it, including doing all updates, since 8-18-2010 with no problems.
I had purchased Windows 7 Home Premium from a listing on Craig's List who was selling it for $65.00. Apparently my copy was not
counterfeit but was a copy not licensed for private sale. The listing was advertised as Computer Service FL, in Bonita Springs, FL

HD activity light still keeps going like the everyready bunny after installing windows 7 SP1. On 2 systems everything settled down after defragging but on one system it looks like the hd is in a continuous defrag mode. Have removed and reinstalled through regular updates with the same results. HD light keeps blinking again almost like it is defragging my hd. Same software on 2 of the 3 systems, different results, one keeps on going and the other appears to be acting normal.
Appreciate and suggestions, thanks.
