    How boot on drive X and restore windows on Drive Y with restore point


    Hello,
    I have a windows 7 which had problems with windows installer. I paid a company -Restoro - to do it. Stay away from them. THEY ARE CROOKS AND RUIN YOUR PC.
    They did a restore point before starting.
    On my PC, i have dual booting. I have two hard drive and both have windows 7.
    Now, when i select the drive they did work on it, i cannot boot. I get the boot selection menu, i select the drive, it starts with window message and after few seconds, i get Blue Screen Of Death. Briefly, less than a second, then computer reboot itself.
    I use the phone and filmed the message, and it was the error 7E.
    I boot then in the second drive(i used to write the post now) and when i look in the System folder in the other drive, i can see the restore point file because has the date and time when the "technician/butcher" started.
    He got remote acces and i saw he is doing a restore point before it start.
    How i can use that restore point to put windows back on the original status before he started to ruin it ?
    I have a boot/recovery windows made with windows from that drive. Can that help ?
    When i boot with it is just looking for boot problems, but not for restore point recovery. What to do ?
    Thank you.

    Hello Samuria
    It is a disaster. I disconnected the boot drive and left just the damaged one, plus windows repair disk.
    I boot-up on the CD and selected the system restore. The error message was that it is not restore point.
    I tried on command prompt. I moved to the drive letter, CD directory to the System Volume information folder.
    Did a dir command and show me all the files, including the restore file.
    I do not know what to do.
    Please help me.
    I have a lot of work there and i cannot reinstall all my programs in the working drive. It is a pain , plus time consuming. If i write to a software company and ask to resend the license, , they do not do it on the spot. 2-3 days and more.
    I must recover the damaged drive.
    Thank you.

    There is a MS repair tool that may work Restoro

    Will it boot to cmd prompt or boot an install dvd and get to a cmd prompt there or or try fix pc.

    What happens when you try and boot with only the 1 drive it may give a clue to the fault which could be disk ,reg or other
