I just wanted to do a repair install on my Windows 7 SP1 with my SP1 DVD and it failed..... How can I recover my Windows??

Hello alonan and welcome to Seven Forums.

Just for clarification, were you trying to repair just SP1 with an SP1 DVD or were you trying to repair your Windows 7 that also had SP1 installed? And was the DVD you were using a full install disc that also contained SP1, an upgrade disc, or OEM disc provided by the computer manufacturer?

It was a full install disc....

Did your full install disc also contain SP1?

 

[marsmimar]

The reason I asked if your full install disc also contained SP1 is this warning from the tutorial:

If you have Windows 7 SP1 installed, then you either must use a "retail" Windows 7 SP1 installation disc to be able to do a repair install, or uninstall SP1 to be able to use a retail Windows 7 installation disc to do a repair install with.

Does your computer work?

What does you computer do or not do that prompted you to do a repair install?

I ask because possibly your problem can be resolved without a repair install.

You may have some success using the method outlined in this tutorial at the link below though it may take a couple / several separate runs to completely sort any issues it finds and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

Be sure to use this first method as it does better when Windows is not running as system files won't be "in-use" while the scan is going on; there's also a lot of additional information at the second tutorial.

you can also use your Windows 7 DVD to boot into Repair options and try a fix for startup.
