I remember in the good old days, you could do a "repair" install of windows xp. Is it possible to do the same thing with windows 7?

If I boot with a windows 7 dvd, the only options I get are custom and upgrade. Custom requires me to erase all my disk contents. If I try upgrade, it says I should log in to windows to do an upgrade install. I obviously can't log in to windows which is why I need to do the "repair" install.
