My Vaio Laptop after running Ashampoo Maic Defrag, wont start, repri option on win 7 install CD wont work, cant find a problem, so I figure taht like with XP you can reinstall the system but I can not find a way to do it without lossing all my settings, any ideas ?

a bad way to start the year, have to work anb spend the whole day with no luck, this is another question

----------------------------

My Vaio Laptop can boot from a regular win 7 with no problem, the reapir option is not working to fix the computer so I want to use another bootable CD to diagnose the proble, but simply wont boor from another bootable CD but win 7 instal DVD, I try Hirens 10.1 CD, basic bootable xp lite with diagnostics, and so on, and the only CD that can boot from is the win 7 instal, any ideas?, I'm going crazy with this, by the way the CD's that I want to use they work in another computer ok

Simplest thing would be to use the "system restore" function in Windows 7 to restore to a date prior to using Ashampoo.

Not sure with 7 but with XP it is possible to do a repair install. I don't see why you can't do it with Win 7. So you should have that option when you pick to install in the same partition as your current install.

Although system restore would be a better option

I can't log into windows, I must repair from a DVD instal or a Boot CD with utilities, theres a lot of work on the system already, programas and settings, etc, that I cant loose

I.m still trying to bot from a boot CD with diagnostics and just can't, if I put a win 7 DVD it's ok, but refuses to see any other CD

And in the System Restore advanced, comes back with no error, so I going in circles

Boot the Win7 DVD repair console, see if it finds an installation to repair, and even if it doesn't click through to Recovery Tools to run Startup Repair repeatedly to try to start it.

Startup Repair runs its dozens of tests and fixes but assumes a given fix will work until you come back for another. Sometimes it takes up to three times if MBR needs rewritten.

If it doesn't find the OS to repair, running bootrec and bootsect commands manually (they are automated in Startup Repair) works.

Startup Repair will prompt if you want to use SysRestore so you're covered there, too.
 
Any ideas of how to make my laptop boot form another disk than win 7 install disk, its unbeliavable, because all the disk's I'm trynig boot ok in another copmuters but not in the vaio, but win 7 DVD boot ok in the same laptop, any ideas, I'm going nuts, cant believe why?

My friend,if you can insert your windows 7 dvd install and go to the options to repair your computer,look for the COMMAND PROMPT,clic and open it and write, SFC /SCANNOW,let do a scan and at the end you'll see what says the scanning,if says to reboot just do it and try.

If the WIn7 DVD boots okay, then did you try running Startup Repair up to 3 times from the Repair console?

If you need to burn a new CD of the Win7 Repair console, here is the ISO file to burn to CD: http://www.sevenforums.com/installa...oot-windows-xp-windows-7-a-16.html#post440486
 
This is incredible, I downloaded the image file recomended, burn a CD and do not work, I put the win 7 dvd and works, is incredible, I will use a USb and see, I let you know guys, thank you very much for the help

It appears your dvd drive will boot from dvd , but not from cd. Could be a problem with the laser.

If you have a spare dvd - try burning the 7 recovery disc .iso ( or whatever bootable .iso you want to use) to an unformatted dvd recordable as an image ( not as data) with an isoburner made for the job.

Use the free Isorecorder if you don't already have one: ISO Recorder v3

The Repair Console on the DVD, CD and USB flash are all the same.

You need to boot into the Win7 DVD, select Repair My Computer, then click through to Recovery Tools list to choose Startup Repair and run repeatedly with reboots until your computer starts.

If you did not select Startup Repair from the list and click it, then you must do that to get your computer started. Not just once. After each fix it will need to be rebooted. Then if it doesn't start you need to boot back into DVD and run Startup Repair again.

Are you selecting Startup Repair from the tools list? Nothing else, just Startup Repair.
 
I also tried this and the system return a message tat can find a problem

1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER.
8. Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER.
9. Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER.

Did you boot the Win7 DVD, select Repair My Computer on second screen, then click through to Recovery tools to choose Startup Repair and run it?

Do this three separate times.

Is there some reason why you will not answer if you have done this?
 
Same reason he ignored post 11, I suppose.
