Hello Appy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if you can repair it using this.

MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

Hope this helps,

when i try to d:
the device is not ready.

Appy,

You would need to replace it with whatever your DVD drive letter is if that is not it.

it is it i'll try again
thanks

nope it didnt work
i followed all the steps
@ step 3 the partition size shown is 0 MB and the location shown is Unknown disk

It looks like you may need to do a Custom install then. If the old installation is still intact, then a copy of it will be placed in the C:\Windows.old folder during the new installation. After the installation is complete, you can copy any files you want back from the previous installation in the C:\Windows.old folder back into the new installation. You will still need to reinstall all of your drivers and programs though.

thats what m trying to avoid
i can even restore my system to dell factory settings
which means my sys becomes clean as out of factory
