Missing %hs file operating system refuses to start.
Hi, im running windows 7 on a laptop. It started to freeze while booting. I followed steps to fix this including last known good config and, system resore. I then got the win7 disk in the hope of using the upgrade facility to try and repair this but it asks me to restart the comp, then reload the disk in normal mode, as the os is failing to load, it is in a constant loop. I haven't tried a clean install but im hoping not to do this as there are some sensitive/important files on here(its used for social work) and im hoping not to lose them, could anyone help with this please, thank you.
