WIN7 won't boot. What should I do before trying a clean install?
My Win 7 64 SP1 installation on my wife's PC has died.
It just won't boot up any more.
I have tried to do a repair "startup repair" but it cannot correct the error and doesn't give any useful information.
This is an OEM installation so I don't appear to have any other repair options from the Win DVD.
I am quite happy to do a clean install but I'm not sure if I have any other options I should try first and I'm not sure if I should try and recover any drivers etc from the system before I do the new install. (As the PC doesn't boot up on these disks I'm not even sure how to recover any files from them).
