Attachment 257378

bootrec/fixmbr
bootrec/fixboot

But why?? mbr is fine, and volume bootsector is fine as well. Anyway do both commands. Both succesful?

syswow64 is for 32bits stuff.... not we are looking for.

c:\windows\system32\config is gone. So all stuff that should be in it.
Try this:

Code:

chkdsk/f  c:

Does it find any errors? Are they repaired? If repaired... run the command again so you know for sure all is fixed.

Only proble you have is:

• You're missing \windows\system32\config

In that folder are all registry files (except the user profiles). Windows doesn't know: what your password is, where your userprofile is, what programs are installed, what settings programs have, all system settings. Don't know how and who did it.... but folder and files in \windows\system32\config are gone!! Those files are normally locked and can't be deleted. You can only delete them when booting from install DVD for example. Any idea what happened?

You can't do a repair install, because that's actually un upgrade install and can only be run from within win7. Also there's nothing to update, there are no settings anymore.

Any important stuff on C you want to keep?

You have a Windows 7 64 bit installation DVD in your version (home premium,prof,ultimate)? Is it in your language?
