I somehow broke my windows search feature, help needed.

EDIT: sfc /scannow didn't help me. Any other suggestions?

he doesn't have the install disc, unless somehow windows 7 manages that differently and requires no disc?

You need a repair disk for emergencies. Do you have the install files or an ISO? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html

If install files, compile them to ISO to burn using this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/32055-bootable-iso-create-installation-files.html

At the minimum you should download the Repair Console to write to stick using tutorial above. Here are links to download: http://www.sevenforums.com/installa...oot-windows-xp-windows-7-a-16.html#post440486

Yes, if sfc /scannow cannot fix it, then the last resort before clean install is a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html?ltr=R
