windows 7 repair install
Hi,
I'm trying to do a repair install on my computer (gateway) that I bought less than a yr ago. Windows 7 was already loaded when I bought it and repair discs aren't working so I got a windows 7 home premium disc. I get to the part where it asks for User name and password. I put user name in and no password because I never put one on my computer, it then states "the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted", I've tried other user names I have, administrator and WORKGROUP, nothing is working and I really don't want to have to do a clean install because of pictures and personal files I have and can't get off, any ideas to help with how I can get past this is appreciated as I really need my computer as I start school Monday. Thank you
I'm also not on a domain.
