Yeah I just sat down at this machine to see if anyone else had the same thing happen. Still waiting for restore to finish...
[edit] Ok system restore worked. I'm not anxious to tackle SP3 again tonight.. 
Three simple steps to to take when I am ready to try again:
1. Download the full SP3 installer rather than use Windows Update.
2. Close all open programs, disconnect from the network, and disable security software.
3. Unplug all non-essential devices (printer, external hard drives, camera).
Could add: And make sure to have a recent backup. |
