Hello, after getting too many viruses on this EeePc 1001PX Netbook I am trying to do a recovery but not seeing an English language option and even now when I try to go back to the original windows 7 I am still getting the recovery screen to select the language, what can I do here please? I have a win7 disk with Home Premium but this netbook came with "Starter" edition.
Eee Pc netbook recovery language problem?

Do you get any language options at all, Mike?
Looks like I will have no choice but to go through this process:

Good to hear, I'm glad it worked out for you, Mike. 
Only issue I am seeing now concerns the updating, I started windows update yesterday at around 3.3opm and now at 6.23 this morning it is at 121 of 165 but that was the last number I remember seeing at 9pm last night just before I went to bed so looks like it's stuck there, what's the ebst thing I can do at this point please?

Hi Mike. If the updates have stopped.I would cancel the updates. Reboot the computer look for updates again.
I would only bring the updates down in groups. Normal updates say 10-15 at a time. Net frameworks only about 5 at a time as they can be quite large. I have seen this method work before.
Wait and see what Cindy thinks.

Thanks but can't wait as the unit's owner needs the laptop for work right away, looks like something got stuck so I was forced to do a hard shut down then restarted and tried the updates again, this time it picked up from where it left off and completed the rest of the updates.

I never get all of the updates at one time, for future reference.
They can get hung up.
It might have been SP1 that created the problem.

The owner uses a netbook for work? Yikes those things are so slow and as a work unit it has to cost time.
I tried everything with mine as I got it to 2 gb and had everything out of startup and I still could not use it. Everyone I gave it to gave it back to me complaining how slow it was. I finally got lucky selling it on eBay and mine was the one you were repairing.
It has to be the Atom cpu causing that and since none of them can use more than 2 gb ram, I do not see them anymore.
