What to do: Windows CD couldn't repair my Windows?
Granted it's been many years since I wiped my system and started fresh. However, the timing now isn't the best because I don't have the time to reinstall everything.
I tried every option. Windows 7 CD couldn't restore previous restored points, it couldn't fix Windows to boot. I just ended up rebooting into the bios and the menu prompt that I couldn't boot.
With no other option, I had to do a fresh install of Windows. Windows renamed the old installation to Windows.old. I have too many (useful) applications over the years, some of which are no longer available to reinstall them all and configure them as I have done through the years.
I am reasonably confident something corrupted the boot so I wasn't able to boot into my Windows.
Is there a way (now) to boot into my old Windows(.old)? I can post a screenshot of the Windows directory if that will help diagnose what might be missing?
