Unable to run a "Repair Install" of Windows 7
Hello
having problems with my Windows 7 (some functions not working like "Personnalmize" where I get an error message from explorer.exe telling that "the interface is not supported", or unable to acces some functions of the User Account management...), I decided to apply a "Repair Install", as explained in the tutorial published by Brink on February 2009
It started correctly, up to Step 8 and then, I got a message telling something like (sorry about my translation, but I'm french) "Windows can't get information about disks on this computer" and then, the process stops.
I tried to boot from a Windows 7 with SP1 CD. And then to ask for a repai, but to no avail
My computer has the following configuration :
1) Connected to the main board
- 2 hard disks installed in extractible racks, so I can easily remove them
- One has the Windows 7 system installed on it
- The other one has the data
- 1 hard disk permanently connected. This disk has a "small" Windows 7 I could use in case of failure of
the "normal" system
2) Additional disks connected via USB ports (one for photos, one for vidéos, one for audio)
So, in cas of some problem, I can always run in "degraded" mode
But I would really like to brmy "normal" Windows 7 system to its full functionnalities and thus would like to
repair it, while keeping all user profiles and programs installed these last 4 years !
If any one had an idea on how I could perform this repair, it would be great !!!
Thanks everybody for your help have a good day
