Repairing W7 laptop HDD connected to my W7 PC
I am trying to help a friend who's laptop wont boot.
Ive tried everything but to no avail. Couldnt rollback to an earlier configuration and using a repair disk didnt help as the laptop saw Windows as working fine. It indicated that there was nothing to repair. My friend (a great home beer brewer, hence the help) had many nasty intrusions and the laptop wouldnt boot. After cleaning the HDD of many maleware and PUP's it still wouldnt boot.
So I have removed his HDD and have it plugged into my W7 machine.
Unfortunately his laptop didnt come with a W7 installation CD, the OS came pre-installed.
Can anybody point out how to troubleshoot his W7 64 bit Premium OS while attached to my PC?
