| | Recover W7 without system image/restore? I'll keep it short. I have a hard disk with four partitions and Windows 7 installed on two of them. My motherboard was damaged because of power fluctuations. During the process of finding a new motherboard, I learned that both the Windows ran on some, while they showed the BSOD on others. Finally, I got a new affordable and compatible motherboard, but both the Windows wouldn't start up and keep showing me the BSOD. I borrowed a friend's hard disk, installed Windows 7 on it and accessed my hard drive. I can see its contents and browse, copy, paste and delete data, but I can't recover my Windows, so it would work again. So I emptied one of the non-Windows partitions on my hard disk and installed Windows 7 on it. It's working fine, but I want to be able to recover both of my previous Windows. Did I mention I don't have a system image of either Windows or system restore points on both of them?  |

| | Thank you for responding. I was hoping both my previous Windows 7 installations would work again. What kind of information should I list? |

| | You should be able to get it to work with a special app. made for the purpose, like Paragon Adaptive restore. It only takes a few seconds . |

| | What has worked for me when Windows 7 won't start on new hardware is to copy the boot-critical mobo chipset and video card drivers into the stranded OS's system32/drivers folder to see if it will then boot. Next boot the Windows 7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, press Shift F10 to open Command Line to mark Windows 7 partition Active: Partition - Mark as Active Then close Command Line, click through to Recovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times to repair or write the MBR to Windows 7: Startup Repair |
