Basically, when I reboot after replacing and backing up all files, it just goes back to the point where it installs SP1. Is there something I can do to make it NOT try to install SP1 after I go through all of this?

My resolution, I believe, was easier and less risky than the solution described above. Up front, I first tried calling MS, but because I have an OEM version of Windows Ultimate, they were going to charge me for support. Forget that. Then I called Gateway since my laptop was under warranty. The connection to India or Pakistan was horrible, and the advice they gave me was even more horrible, restore my laptop from scratch. Forget that! What I did was the following: 1) You DON'T want to use Windows Update to reinstall SP1, but instead download the standalone release: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B0C7136D-5EBB-413B-89C9-CB3D06D12674&displaylang=en 2) Disabled my AntiVirus software, and shut down any other windows that need not be running. Also, disconnected all unneeded USB connections. 3) Executed the file I downloaded from the MS url in step 1). It gets past installing stage 2 of 3. 4) When it asks to restart the laptop, I instead chose to shutdown. 5) Laptop shut down without going through the SP1 step installs. Very good. 6) Power back up, press F8 and choose to go into safemode. 7) At this time, the SP1 install displays it is in stage 3 of 3. Very slow at this point, I went to bed because it seemed to be locked on 38% complete and was going nowhere in a hurry. 8) Got some much needed sleep for me. :) 9) Awoke in the morning and found my PC up and running. 10) Looked at my Windows Updates, did not find the SP1 still showing as needing to update. Very good sign I had this problem licked. 11) Shutdown my PC and it didn't go through the SP1 install anymore. Another good sign. 12) Started up my PC and it booted up, just fine. Problem resolved!!! 13) Checked my BigFix screen, and where I had nearly 53 prior problems, all of them were now resolved. This was a bonus for me.
