my old post:
So I didnt have much time in the last couple of months so I just started messing with the inplace upgrade thing a few days ago.
I have SP1, and I know I need a win7 sp1 installation to perform the upgrade.so theres this legal image of w7 sp1 iso available to download from Digital River
I made a DVD,USB, and just tried doing the upgrade from my HDD directly.
Every time I upgrade It finishes copying the windows files and on stage 2(gathering..) I get the following error:

(I do choose to obtain the updates at the beginning and it just downloads 1 thing-1089kb(every time!!) - weird.btw it fails when I choose not to obtain updates as well)
SFC SCANNOW doesent work for me-it says Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
tried the clean boot(disabling services and startup items)
tried disconnecting the internet cable
btw clean install doesent work for me

You should find the upgrade matrix. NOT ALL VERSIONS OF WINDOWS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR IN-PLACE UPGRADE!

What is a Repair- In - Place Upgrade? Never heard of it.
If you need to repair your system, run your recovery tools, system recovery, restore from backup, restore to a previous time.
If you dont have any of those options, you will probably have to re-install using you system disc, and activate with your system key. Or recovery options if it is a OEM from the seller of your system.

it says you can repair the existing installation.
An in-place upgrade is the final alternative before you have to reinstall the operating system.
Note that it takes the same amount of time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. Also, some of your customized Windows settings may be lost through this process. -

backup your files and make a second copy just in case
then install it clean
if its not booting, find another hard disk and install windows on that, then after its installed, slave the old disk and recover your files

then you should spend some $ and get another disk, they do come in handy; having one in the junk box

To be able tO do a repair install you MUST boot to the existing OS firsT
You cannot do a repair install booting from the DVD.

get another hard disk, I assume your DVD is a factory pressed disk
then install windows on that and recover your files
