A Chalenge to PC wiz Guys

This is the scenario:

I ruin my win 7 system(running Ashampo Magic Defrag, "magic destroyer") in my Vaio Laptop dual core, 2 gig, etc, since is almost full in the hard drive, and the system restore simple and advanced is not fixing anything buy the way it reports that nothing is wrong but the computer keeps going to the system set up

I wanted to instal over the system like you do in XO, but isnot posible since theres no option for that only for repair or new instal, I do not hace enough space for a new insataltion and awanted to keep my system the way it is.

THE SITUATION IS THIS

1 The laptop only boots form a windows 7 install cd, tha means taht can boot from media
2 The computer wont boot from another bootable cd's like herins diagnostics or XP mini to be able to move files in the system, all this CD's work fine in another computer but the Vaio only boots from the win 7 DVD install

3 I already run the bootrecord manually fix in dos, I already run the system scan in dos and nothing is fixed, I need to boot from one of the other Bootable CD's but the Vaio is not doing it

THE CHALENGE:, how can I boot my Vaio from another bootable CD instead of the Win 7 System instal?

What is going on, for me is not logic tha any other computer that I try can boot form the cd's but not the vaio, and that the vaio boots from the win 7 isntal, ( I also put the system restore bootable files in a USB and nothig)

Am I Going Crazy or nuts?

I have win 7 ultimate (and I have a retail win 7 instal DVD)
I want to keep my system, need to run diagnostins from herins cd, ans try to repair my actual win 7 or at least be able to boot with it to move my files and do a fresh instal, but is not what I want this since I have a lot of settings and my ghot image got corrupted so reinsatll everything is a day worth, that is why I need the computer to boot form the cd that i want not only from the win 7 insatal DVD

do i understand that you want to do a repair to your laptop but cant get it to boot from hiren's boot cd? what you can do is a repair install using your win 7 dvd, it will only overwrite the bad files, it will not put on a new installation, hope that helps, have a look in the tutorials section of the forum for repair install

There was another thread about this - hard to understand what that was about too.

I believe he wants to boot from a cd , or maybe several cd's.

His machine will not boot cd's - it only boots dvd's.

yes i think you're right SIW2 now ive re-read it i understand it a little more the op says that he want to do a repair install like he was able to do in XP but cant because the lappy cant read cd's

I could be wrong - but I think he is saying he would do a repair install- but it can't be done by booting the 7 dvd - like you could with XP.

So, he wants to try various repair tools he has on cd's , or maybe copy off data.

He can't because the cd's won't boot. Only the 7 dvd boots.

Sounds like there is something wrong with the laser that reads cd's.

I suggested on the other thread he burn his repair tools to dvd instead - see if that boots.

As far as I can tell, it was ignored.
