Windows 7 repair not working and no recovery, pls help

[Tyi469]

I am now at comand promt, ater selecting advanced recovery since i have no backup. Any ideas as to what i should type? X=\windows\system32>

I take it you cannot boot into windows.

Any error messages when you try?

 

[quickdraw2011]

Restart your computer. Start taping on the F10 key. This should take you directly to System Recovery. Just keep selecting Recovery when prompted. Reinstall Windows to factory state.
I believe this is what your asking for...correct?

Dear Tyi469,
Now that you are at Command Prompt, the best command you can give is
sfc /scannow

This will automatically scan and repair even the protected windows OS!

regards,
sree

If your not entering the Recovery Manager window, you might not have a Recovery Partition on your HDD. In this case, you'll need Windows 7 Recovery software. Is your computer a Sony?

Just seems a bit too much for this guy. Judging by his comments. I was offering a simple solved for his issue. At least I thought, I was. Hey, no doubt your the pro and I'm the rookie here. Thanks, for sharing your knowledge.

 

[Tyi469]

Hey quickdraw, the funny part as you stated lol, was all that foreign computer stuff was directed at you, as thats what came up after i applied ur f10/8 whatever it was!!! Lmao

 

[gregrocker]

Diane -

Are you saying you ran Vaio Factory Recovery? VAIO Computer Recovery Options Guide
Did you boot it using the F10 key as quickdraw suggested earlier?

And the "restore disk" you say it made is this to back up your data or did it burn Recovery to a disk to boot and run? It's a good idea to have the disks made in case the F10 Recovery should fail.

That was a good guess at F10 there, quickdraw, considering she hadn't posted her System Specs!

They're not always this easy, and we've helped here with thousands of these.
