I found some more information on the DriverSweepr and SP1 issue. Link here.

The new features dynamic memory and remoteFX is for virtualisation performance end users don't see much benefits. -

For those experiencing the following error(s) while attempting to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Driver Sweeper by Phyxion, mistakenly deletes certain required files for ATI users (not sure about Nvidia users) that will not allow for the installation of Service Pack 1.
The Error(s):
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 0x800foa13 or 0x800f0826 installation error after previous use of Driver Sweeper software to remove ATI drivers.
Fix:
I fixed the issue on my PC using OPTION 2 and the steps provided here:
Driver Sweeper, Win7 SP1 and YOU!! - techPowerUp! Forums
The only part I had trouble with was taking ownership of the files so I could replace them, I had to use the registry hack that adds the "Take Ownership" option to the right-click context menu. Everything else went smoothly.
Take Ownership of Windows 7 and Vista Files with a Shortcut - TechSpot -
Here's the command for the SP1 cleanup tool. Run command prompt in admin mode and run this dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
Or I can just use disk cleanup and clean "Service Pack Backup Files" -
As an update, I ran Disk Cleanup, removed all of the SP1 backup files, and now the freed up space on my SSD is near 6 GB. -

Maybe you guys have been doing something to your systems other than DS to bring about such a problem? -
Got back over 900mb's of disk space, thanks for the help guys! -

Not having any problems with it and never had any problems with any service packs so yes, I have no worries
-
I just set a reminder on my Outlook calendar for 3/23/2011 (a month from now). Between now and then... and if nothing crashes.... I'll be wiping out the SP1 temp files

IT...SP1 is failing to install once it reboots. It says installation failed at the 2% and gives an unknown error.
As far as I know, I've corrected the damage Driver Sweeper did, as sfc /scannow comes out clean now.
Not cool. I expected better from Windows 7 which has run flawlessly for me thus far. Until now. -
Hmm, my Asus and X200 updated to SP1 fine but my W500 never sees the update in Windows Update. It keeps on stating that my Windows is up to date. I keep refreshing and it stays the same. Anyone have any ideas on how to force an update?
-
All 4 computers at home now with SP1. Went smoothly. Windows Media Player on all systems required an "initial setup" again (easy... just select/click and it's done).
-
Installed SP1 yesterday via Windows update, went smoothly without any glitches, all is well so far (knock on wood).
-
My acer didnt wanna install it but my desktop did the only problem is it deleted my vga drivers which was annoying.
-
Installed SP1 yesterday via Windows update, went smoothly without any problems....But before installation i had 263 gb free space on the HDD and after installation it became 270 gb free space!!!! How come??? Anybody knows?
-
After installing SP1(with no problems at all)in both my notebooks the start up time has increased from 45sec to 1min 03 sec.The difference is noticable.

Maybe over a few days, the OS will optimize itself? -
EDIT: maybe try to defrag your HDD (?) Mine's SSD and I didn't have to do it. -

Maybe the SP reset the SuperFetch data?

Another issue to watch out for is that, during the reboot after the SP install, Windows will rescan the complete hardware, and reload all drivers. In some cases this means that driver customizations will be lost. So, if you have customized things like disk caching policies, power management settings, etc., then it's a good idea to go back to Device Manager and check your devices.
On my M6400, it even turned out that after the first reboot Windows had decided that it didn't like the signature on the drivers for my USB2 hubs anymore, with the result that my glorious machine now only featured USB 1.1 portsI had to uninstall the USB2 hubs in device manager and then force the system to rescan my hardware to get it to install the drivers properly. It's possible, though, that another reboot might have fixed things just as well.

Maybe it is just me but the computer seems faster after SP1...
But I believe in objectivity so I will still say no difference. -

did you do the disk cleanup already or was it right after installation? -

I finally got SP1 to install! Took a while and too many tries. I finally got the System Update Readiness Tool to run, I think the version I tried downloading yesterday multiple times may have been corrupted somehow. I downloaded again this morning and it ran with any problem. Afterward, SP1 was also installed without any hiccups.

Does anyone in UK receive the update yet? My windows update doesn't find any SP1...

I did use Windows Update to install SP1. But I had to download the System Update Readiness Tool separately which was about 300MB.
