Possible to covert a plain system part. copy to ISO and make bootable?

[Dali362]

You have win7 home premium? 32 bits or 64bits and what language? Do you have win7 install DVD? Have a win7 system repair disk? Other win7 machines in house?
You don't need recover DVD at all!! If all attempts fail... you can do a clean install

I think you're Swedish.. right?
If so:

Windows 7 Professional SP1-U ISO
Swedish x86: X17-59271.iso
Swedish x64: X17-59273.iso

So if you have 32bit win7 download the first one, otherwise the second one. You can unlock all versions (so also Home Premium) using
Create Windows 7 Universal ISO With All Editions Selection On Install with ei.cfg Removal Utility « My Digital Life

After that burn the ISO using The Official ImgBurn Website to DVD.

Thanks a lot, yes, if all atempts fail I`ll use the clean install procedure you advice. By the way, we have another PC (desktop) at home with WIN7 professional, but it is 64 bit, wheras my Asus Eee is 32 bit. The Asus did not come with any installation media, as I wrote before. I have a system recovery DVD as well as System Reparation DVD for my stationary, but since it is 62bit,it´s of no use on my Asus.

System Reparation DVD??? You mean system repair disk?

Do you have it?

reg   query  hklm\system\mounteddevices

Does work?

Yes, it worked, the two numbers are different, for D it reads B2D25BCB005AA9DE1D000000


for C
B2D25BCB00007E0000000000

 

[Kaktussoft]

reg query hklm\system\mounteddevices

What is listed at DosDevices\D ?

 

[Kaktussoft]

reg  load hklm\win7old  D:\windows\system32\config\system
reg  query  hklm\win7old\mounteddevices

What is listed at DosDevices\C ?

 

[Dali362]

reg query hklm\system\mounteddevices

What is listed at DosDevices\D ?

There is a myriad of various numbers, I think the best will be for me to make a screenshot and post it here, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Good night and hopefully "see you" tomorrow.

I think it's B2D25BCB005AA9DE1D000000 ??

 

[Kaktussoft]

reg  load hklm\win7old  D:\windows\sytem32\config\system
reg  query  hklm\win7old\mounteddevices

What is listed at DosDevices\C ?

Do you see value B2D25BCB005AA9DE1D000000 as well in output?

I'm not interested in lines starting with \??\Volume{

 

[Dali362]

reg query hklm\system\mounteddevices

Good Morning Kaktussoft, here´s the command line screenshot, down at the shot you will see that I tried to work the two lines you asked for, but no way, the first of the two says "File inaccessible as it is used by another process" and the second line: It was impossible to find the registerkey or the value that was given". Any ideas how to go around this?

 

[Kaktussoft]

reg  unload hklm\win7old

Works? If so.. it was already loaded!! So load it again:

reg  load hklm\win7old  D:\windows\system32\config\system

 

[Kaktussoft]

Start REGEDIT
open branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Now you see SAM,SECURITY,SOFTWARE... Only a few keys.
win7old is one of them?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Sorry I made a typo!! Right command is:

reg  load  hklm\win7old  D:\windows\system32\config\system

 

[Dali362]

Start REGEDIT
open branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Now you see SAM,SECURITY,SOFTWARE... Only a few keys.
win7old is one of them?

Yes, win7old is one of them, the last one on the list: Hardware, SAM, Security, Software, system and then win7old.

 

[Kaktussoft]

Start REGEDIT
open branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Now you see SAM,SECURITY,SOFTWARE... Only a few keys.
win7old is one of them?

Yes, win7old is one of them, the last one on the list: Hardware, SAM, Security, Software, system and then win7old.

Open win7old there. Does it have a subkey called Mounteddevices? If so open that key. In the right part you see many keys named \DosDevices\

Is B2 D2 5B CB 00 5A A9 DE 1D 00 00 00 one of the values after \DosDevices?
If so... is it \DosDevices\C or D or E or....?

If so... is it \DosDevices\C or D or E or....?

I am afraid it is neither C or D or E, it is A! There are 7 DOS devices listed: A, C, D, E, F, G and H. So, are we back to square ONE?

 

[Kaktussoft]

So hklm\win7old\mounteddevices has a key \DosDevices\A: with exact value B2 D2 5B CB 00 5A A9 DE 1D 00 00 00 ?
That's not back to square one!! It's a great step forwards. If so:


Be sure you are in hklm\win7old\mounteddevices
rightclick on \DosDevices\C: and click "delete". Ignore the warning
rightclick on \DosDevices\A: and click "rename". Rename it to \DosDevices\C: so actually modifying only 1 character. Press enter.

\DosDevices\A: is gone now
\DosDevices\C: has the value we're talking about all the time (what is D now). But in win7 it's called C now... if it will ever boot

Please confirm you changed it.

 

[Kaktussoft]

hklm\system\mounteddevices \DosDevices\D:
and
hklm\win7old\mounteddevices \DosDevices\C:

have exact same values now... doublecheck please. After that:

reg  unload  hklm\win7old

Yes, C deleted and A renamed (changed) to A. Looking forward to the next step.

Sorry for the typo ,A is of course changed(renamed) to C:.
