Hi does lucid puppy backup ir files? If not then i don't know how to backup files with a pc which dont boots. And do u have skype? Could be easier to talk there.

What are ir files? And it doesn't matter if windows boots or not, that method involves booting from a live cd which doesn't depend on windows.
Did you go through the steps which i mentioned in my previous post about SFC and troubleshooting steps?
This forum is meant for public support. So, lets stick to the forums.

Yes, you'll be able to backup all your files.

- SFC didn't run or you weren't able to run it? We can guide you through the steps if you wish though the tutorial is self-explanatory.

- You can burn the puppy linux iso to a cd also. In case your uncomfortable with linux, see point 9 of the below tutorial and choose your preferred method.

You need to tap F8 as soon as the POST (or say BIOS) screen appears. What happens when you do so? It just boots to Windows Recovery environment w/o displaying advanced boot options?

Exactly and i cant even start safe mode with cmd!

You said you even tried safe mode with command option? Exactly how you tried this?
Are you able to boot normally to windows?
Have you tried system restore? Boot up your system and when it arrives at the recovery environment, there should be an option of system restore.

As i said earlier, i have tried all of the options. Nothing works. You can run safe mode if you type bcdedit /set {current} safe mode or something like that and there is another one but i dont remember. But i cant start safe mode with cmd either

TheGhastSlayer · 18 Apr 2012

No im not able to boot normally to windows but at the recovery stuff there is command prompt where i can type sfc /scannow and all that stuff

TheGhastSlayer · 18 Apr 2012

OK im creeped out now!!! I can't restore anymore!!! I could restore since i installed java update but none are available now!!! I'm not sure if i have an OS anymore!!!
