Can't Fix or Reinstall Windows 7 HomePrm; Missing DLLs
Upgraded from Vista HmPrm to Win7 HmPrm flawlessly. Weeks later a power loss when defrag'g left OS errors; tried to fix with Win7sp1.iso which made matters worse. Now pc will boot but missing dlls leave screen black; can only launch task mgr. Boot'g with iso does not allow Reinstall due to "dvd driver missing".
Error: 0x80070002
DLLs missing and ID'd thus far: System 32\rasplap.dll, UNINIT.dll, slc.dll, WinSxS\x86_microsoft.windows.common_cpmtrols_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.7601.17514_none_ec83dffa859149af\ com\CTL32.dll, autorun.dll, Net AP132.dll and SYS32\BROWCLI.DLL...maybe more.
I'd like to save the installed software but doubt that can be done...my C-prompt is likely limited use.
My question may really be how to format my HDD, under this circumstance, and reinstall Win7 as only option.
