If I type the code in #56 there is a lot of text, but no config if that is what we are looking for...

In addition if you only have access to the Command Line still, you can use Step 7 in Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start which shows exactly how to sequence the bootrec commands to jumpstart repairs or if an OS does not appear.

Does an OS appear to repair when you boot into Repair CD or DVD?

Greg it looks like his registry has been gone. C:\windows\system32\config folder is not there.

Strange thing is attrib command doesn't show the folder name as it usually does. See screenshots in previous posts.

Trying the new code:


Reading through step 7 and using the bootrec tool now....

Im trying the bootrec.exe, but because I dont fully understand what the problem is I dont know what to do next =S

c:
cd  \windows
dir/ah/s software.*
dir/s regback
dir/ah/s regback

bootrec/fixmbr
bootrec/fixboot

But why?? mbr is fine, and volume bootsector is fine as well. Anyway do both commands. Both succesful?

 

[Ceciliaaa]

bootrec/fixmbr
bootrec/fixboot

Okej, I have done both of these and gotten the answer "The operation completed successfully" on both

syswow64 is for 32bits stuff.... not we are looking for.

c:\windows\system32\config is gone. So all stuff that should be in it.
Try this:

chkdsk/f  c:

Does it find any errors? Are they repaired? If repaired... run the command again so you know for sure all is fixed.

 

[Ceciliaaa]

Ehm... I type the chkdsk/f C: and get this:


Should I press Y here? Or is this a bad sign? :S

 

[Ceciliaaa]

Ah wait... I closed the cmd, and typed it again and now its running through the test

 

[Ceciliaaa]

I think everything is fine, but posting the image just in case so that you can have a look

Only proble you have is:

• You're missing \windows\system32\config

In that folder are all registry files (except the user profiles). Windows doesn't know: what your password is, where your userprofile is, what programs are installed, what settings programs have, all system settings. Don't know how and who did it.... but folder and files in \windows\system32\config are gone!! Those files are normally locked and can't be deleted. You can only delete them when booting from install DVD for example. Any idea what happened?

You can't do a repair install, because that's actually un upgrade install and can only be run from within win7. Also there's nothing to update, there are no settings anymore.

Any important stuff on C you want to keep?

You have a Windows 7 64 bit installation DVD in your version (home premium,prof,ultimate)? Is it in your language?
