You cannot rely on windows.old as a backup method.

Work through these steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot which include everything possible to disinfect and then repair the OS, rescue your files, then if necessary run Factory Recovery or Clean Reinstall.

I've been relying on windows.old as a backup method, and it's never failed. And that's on 50+ Windows 7 installations.

And what if the reinstallation fails? We do not take shortcuts here but try to support the Best Practices which means there always is a current file backup - especially before a repair or reinstall.

In this case OP has unbootable Win7 which requires speedy file rescue in case of HD failure.

I'm not saying to take a shortcut, I still make backups, I'm just giving a suggestion if the OP needs it quickly.

Is there any other solution? Because this is the last option I think that must be used and after all it is more complex as it looks because i will have to dl softwares for my work again which will take me days and I don't have that much time to submit assignments.... So If any other solution plz share or I must have to take a riskkkk.

Work through the troubleshooting steps.

Hey guys,

I got a good news..
That is just totally unbelievable, I was just checking for other sites for the solution and I got the answer.

It was HDD problem , its cable was somewhat loose and I pushed it a little which solved the problem. Next time I booted and it booted normally..

Well that was unusual but thanks for your assistance. I better get a backup of the softwares and files. You people did great because you people replied in less than 10mins. Ty.. <3

Glad to hear it was just a simple thing

I guess we all had assumed that you checked that before posting.
