If you had problems in the original install, you are restoring the original damaged
install, so of course the original problems will return. At least in every case
I have seen, and there are some cases where data corruption can happen when saving
uninstall files, since all hardware produces errors but they are usually caught by
the hardware's CRC error checks (HDD and optical devices aren't the only devices
that have CRC checks, the motherboard does also).. When they aren't corrected, you
get data corruption, and in those cases where the hardware is defective, that is
probably what may have been causing your issues in the first place. Trying to "repair"
an operating system if you have bad hardware, is then futile. In cases where the
backup files for restore may be corrupt, you can restore a system and it may be damaged,
even though it functioned correctly before you did the upgrade. I've seen that happen
too..
Bottom line, MS doesn't gaurantee that any operation is 100% safe so you always need
to backup irreplaceable data etc if possible before you try to do anything major
to the system..
