PLEASE HELP!! Cannot get past preparing your desktop
Okay so I accidently deleted the C: partition and could not boot. Loaded my Windows 7 disk and let it do a repair. It will boot now and it gets to the screen that says "Preparing your desktop" after several minutes the screen turns blue with no desktop icons. There seems to be some kind of disk activity as if it is searching for something it does not find even after 8 hours. So here are my questions, Can I reinstall windows? There appears to be two partitions, the C: drive and the D: drive. The C: partition is small (100GB) while the D: partition is much larger. The D: partition appears to have all my data and programs. Will windows install only to the C: partition and not destroy the programs and data on the D: partition or will an installation wipe out both the C: and D:? Second question, is there some program such as easeus that you can run only on the C: and recover the windows operating system? I am really stuck here and my knowledge is very limited so I could use and would very much appreciate any and all help I can get! Thank you in advance.
