I just left it because I go out & play guitar on Tuesday nights. Figured
it would still be there when I got home & I could see what I was going
to have to do then.
When I got home from my music session around Tuesday night, it had come
to the end of whatever it was doing & had a message displayed that it
was unable to repair or couldn't be repaired or something like that. I
clicked the "Ok" button and it shut itself down.
I waited a few minutes to hit the power switch and it started normally.
I still haven't been able to get the printer up & recognized by the
network, which is what I went in there for in the first place. I've
tried two different "known good" Ethernet cables with it & it's still
not registering with the router. I've also tried switching ports in the
switch back there. No Joy. It may be that the printer is hosed.
I'm not too fussed about that yet, since I have one working printer on
the network & I've got an almost "new in the box" spare I can swap in if
I have to. I can either sort it out or pack it in. It's not much more
aggravation either way.
That printer is only to save me having to walk back into this room if I
need to print a plain text document from the Photoshop computer (like
instructions on how to do something I want to do in Photoshop so I don't
have to keep switching windows at every step).
The computer switching itself on when I didn't tell it to and the
Windoze "repair" thingy irritated me.

If you anticipate that you will need to reinstall anyway, unplug it
and plug it back in. You might get lucky and it'll boot up.

The repair can't be canceled either. There's a button to cancel, but when
you click it, it just pops up a message saying "The repair can't be
canceled".
I expect that it's never going to finish, and I'll eventually have to do a
complete new install of Windoze7.
