Windows 7 Ultimate will not update to SP1

I have been round and round looking at error codes and trying to get my Windows 7 Ultimate to update. It may have come from the Bizspark program or my Action Pack Subscription to The Microsoft Partner Action Pack. But for some reason every thing I have done to try to update it has failed.

I even had a Geek Squad specialist spend 3-4 hours on this trying to do it. His only solution was to reformat and reinstall. At this point I cannot. I could try to do a repair that is the only thing I have not done.

The license did come from a source that is authentic and authorized. Any advice on what I can do...........

Gentlemen thank you very much for the help. I am investigating all the solutions and will get back with the solution.
Nothing worked. Had two different guys supposedly senior tech at Geek Squad. Neither could make it happen so that asked if I would consider reformatting ................the standard I have seen on all the machines I took to Geek Squad. So far nothing I have sent them could be fixed. 3 out of 3 machines the concluded simply had to be rebuilt..............what a disappointment............!

I will reward points on effort and leave it for you to tell me whether it should be sent to the knowledge base.......your thoughts appreciated.

Did everything we could had Geek Squad 3 different techs from their National call center and on or two local guys. No one could get it installed So we reformatted and started over............

Man that was a nightmare ......and the only solution.....rebuild it...That seems to be the solution more and more with everything I have Microsoft.

How is it the opensource stuff does so much better with no money behind it and the ones with Billions of dollars in resources cant even fix themselves.....makes you wonder.......don't it....!
