Thanks for responding to this post.
As requested here is the info. Keep in mind that the info shown is displayed from the second copy of Windows installed on the same partition. Hence why it shows the OS with service pack 1. I'm not sure if this is going to help or not, but thanks.

--------------------- END REPORT ---------------------
A couple of things I have done since and the repair still freezes at the 'Saving configuration....' step.
I have the latest bios installed and used the latest SATA drivers available from Silicon Image.
On a final note, during Safe Mode start with command prompt my original message stated it froze when loading the file ACPITABL.dat. If I wait long enough the file loads and I get to the Safe Mode Screen, however a message box pops up and says 'Cannot run Windows setup in safe mode. Press F3 to restart windows installation'
The computer freezes and I have to do a hard reboot.
Finally,
if I try and start the system with the last known working configuration I get a blue screen exception error and the memory is dumped. The error states something along the lines of System Exception Error, your system has been stopped to prevent damage.
Thanks again for trying to help.
