    Extracting files on windows 7 disk different version


    My sisters computer running windows 7 home has some corrupt startup files that scannow can not repair. Can I use my windows 7 professional disk to extract the files from? I don't know if the different versions will matter. She did not get a disk with her computer.

    Hi Donbo,

    You could try a System Restore!

    This also might help (Post #4 by gregrocker):
