I have two PCs both dual boot XP/Win 7, (on separate HDs) with more or
less the same progs on them. One not much used these days.

The not much used one failed some time ago after doing a Win7 update.
After re-booting it re-set at the 'configuring your PC' stage, and re-set
each time it got there. Wouldn't boot to the safe condition either and all
attempts at repair failed.

So I bought a new HD and cloned it from the working machine Win7 HD. That
worked fine.

Until yesterday - the first time it had been used in a couple of weeks. It
again decided to do an update and failed in exactly the same way. The XP
side still works ok, so I'm wondering what's going on?

For some reason it has no restore points saved - even although there are
ones on the HD it was cloned from.
