    shouldnt be that hard, are you experiencing all of those issues post install or just similar issues?

    where did you get your install media?

    any chance youve got a funky hard drive?

    Try the standalone installation of SP1.
    Line sourced from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5842 so it's genuine.

    i'd try mp22 link first, let the readiness tool work, it may takes hours apon hours to run but let it finish.

    then try install a downloaded copy of sp1.

    if that fails, the only other way i have being able to sort out the problem is a repair installation, the link should help for that method.
