Re-installing Win7 Home Premium Files

WIN7 NIGHTMARE · 10 Mar 2020

Nothing more from anyone?.....

UPDATE ANYWAY -

Using a 3rd party software - I wanted to see how fragmented this HD was and found it said 95% !

Looks like it will take all night to defrag if it can.

You came here for help but you don't follow our instructions.
You post a lot of images but you don't tell us how did you obtained.
You're shooting in the dark.

What do you expect from us?

Thread officially on it's way to dying.

Had to take a sanity break from all of this...

I copied my brothers' corrupt hard drive to a partition on another...Using mini-partition-wizard tech, hit "explore" and see some interesting files...

System volume Info
Restore
Windows Image Back Up

Can I use any of these files on it's own to put back the drive before it got messed up....It took a dump BEFORE the beginning of March (2020).

I don't recall if I asked this but, would this allow me access to a restore point where I could click on "start-restore-restore computer to an earlier time-etc"" so-to-speak, and the computer would then "restore itself"?

No.

It does exactly as described:
