When it asks to repair your existing Windows installation, accept it and press ""R"" to run the repair. 3. Setup will start repairing your Windows and will start copying files, etc. 4. After a few minutes setup will restart your system and when it restarts don't press any key when it shows ""Press any key to continue..."" otherwise Setup will start from the beginning.
