You can download the Windows 7 Ultimate x86 with SP1 ISO from the official site and burn the installation disc to DVD.
Ty!! But I tried to repair and nothing. I tried to install but just come error messages with hard drive
Will try again...
When I tried install this error appear:
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Error code: 0x80070017
I clicked ok and after come:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000006)
Click ok to close the application.
When the installation disc starts, type SHIFT + F10. This will bring up a command prompt. In the command prompt, type
chkdsk /r c:.etc until you get the message that the volume could not be opened for direct access. For any drives that do not give the message:
chkdsk /r d:
chkdsk /r e:
chkdsk /r f:
"Windows has checked the file system and found no problems"
run chkdsk again as above. In other words, if it says:
"Windows has made corrections to the file system"
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
I realize you may only have one disk show up in Windows explorer, but you may have more than one disk through recovery options/the install disc. This is because the system creates a hidden boot partition (which will be C: in recovery), you may have a recovery partition for your PC that is hidden (which will be D: in recovery), and you will have your primary Windows partition (which may be E: in recovery). A custom PC will likely have at least C: and D: to scan.
I typed chkdsk /r c:
The type of the file system is NTFS
I typed chkdsk /r d:
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.
Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? ( Y/N )
I typed chkdsk /r e:
The type of file is NTFS

?????????????????????
Alright, in the command prompt opened by SHIFT + F10, typediskpartpost what your volumes are on the disk.
list volume
In case it takes a while for me to get back to you: If the first volume says System and the second says Recovery or something similar, then the e: volume is your Windows partition and there are unrecoverable sectors on it. This means the hard disk is failing and that is why you are unable to repair Windows.
Also, to run disk check on D:, you can force a dismount by typing Y. It won't hurt anything.
What was the outcome of C: ? Was that as far as it got was saying what file system existed?
You should backup any important data using the steps described in Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console. If those do not work, then do the following steps instead to backup your data.
To backup via the Windows 7 installation disc, start the Windows installation with your external drive plugged in and do the following steps.
- Press Shift + F10 when the installer loads.
- Search for the drive with the Windows directory on it. Type the following commands into the prompt:
- C:
- dir
- D:
- dir
- e:
- dir
- etc. until you see Windows toward the bottom of what is listed by dir.
- Mark down the drive letter that has Windows on it.
- Find the external drive using the same drive letter, dir procedure (you may get the message The device is not ready for drives that do not exist)
- Once you find the external drive layout you are familiar with, you can back up your files using the following commands (in my commands, I assume the Windows drive is C: and the backup external drive is F:, so use the appropriate drive letters for your case).
- robocopy /s /r:5 /w:0 /xo /xj C:\folderNameToBackup F:\backupFolderName
If you only want to back up a subdirectory, use
- robocopy /s /r:5 /w:0 /xo /xj C:\topFolder\folderNameToBackup F:\backupFolderName
- In the above, folderNameToBackup is the name of the folder you want to make a backup of. backupFolderName is the name you want to use for the backup. For example, if I want to backup the whole users folder, I would use:
- robocopy /s /r:5 /w:0 /xo /xj C:\Users F:\backupUsers
or to backup just my user
- robocopy /s /r:5 /w:0 /xo /xj C:\Users\Mike F:\backupUsers\Mike
