@David: when I rebooted in 30% frozen stage, I started to download setup manually, but after a few min windows updater said that update (service pack) is downloaded ans ready to install, I installed SP using windows updater and it only took less than 10 min, never said stage 1 or 2, just said it on percentage (1% 2%…) during shutdown and boot-up. (you have DDR3 RAM and I’ve 2GB DDR2, also my hard is 4200RPM so I could expect a longer setup than you have on your netbook, only my CPU is slightly faster T7200)
