    OS error & restoring a backup


    Thanks for any help with this.....

    My flatmate lost my windows 7 installation disk, now I've had a OS error, where my system keeps on asking to restore system... I have backups on both the secondary hard drive & an external... I cant find the disk & now have another installation disk, if I was to install new Os, could I then use a backup to restore where I was previously?

    Press the F8 key repeatedly at boot up or use the Startup disk.

    Try this:

    Startup Repair
    Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
