Repair Install

Another strange issue is about one third of my applications appears to be all installed in August 21st 2018 under the Windows Control Panel, so they lost the original date installation. The other 2/3 kept the original dates.

Seven months of smooth sailing since my repair install of Windows 7 Ultimate. I bought the Macrium Reflect license for up to four computers to help too. Thanks again. This tutorial saved me so much trouble.

Thanks for this excellent tutorial on doing a "repair install". One thing I didn't find was if I can "repair install" one win7 install while booted to another win7 install on a multiboot 'puter. I have XP sp3, win7 Home Premium, and Win7 Pro. The Home Premium went kaput, the XP and Win7 Pro are still fine. I'm looking to do a "repair install" on the Home Premium. It will not boot (missing or corrupt hal.dll). Thanks

Ok, thanks SIW2. If I could boot into it I wouldn't need a "repair install".

My Dell Optiplex 7010 MT dual-boots Win 7 Pro 64-bit and Win 10 Pro 64-bit. The Win 10 starts, but the Win 7 doesn't. The Win 7 gets as far as the four glowing MS flags but no further (although they continue to pulse and glow, forever).

Is there a way to repair my Win 7 Pro 64-bit while preserving apps and files, maybe using the method here?

If not, if I boot up into my Win 10, is there anything I can then do to fix/repair the Win 7 while preserving its stuff?

If not, then WHAT FOR GOD'S SAKE????

Thanks.

SIW2 - Not recently, and I doubt I did it before. But the problem right now is that I can't start my Win 7 in my original HDD. In fact, earlier this morning I removed the new NVMe and re-ran Macrium's Fix Boot problems so that my PC now sees only the HDD.

My first goal is to repair the Win 7 in my HDD before I do anything else. Any ideas?

did you integrate the nvme updates into your win7 installation ?

SIW2 - As I just commented to your similar reply in TenForums, I might need to put my BIOS back to where it was before I modified it this past week, see if my Win 7 will now start, and then install the NVMe drivers to the Win 7 before re-doing the BIOS modification.

1. Your post above has a link to https://www.sevenforums.com/attachme...me-win7x64.zip , which has two .msu files. Do I need to run both?
2. Are there any others I need to run to put NVMe drivers into my Win 7?
3. Your post above also has links to USB3, DISM and nt6repair9x86 zips. Do I need to understand and run those also?

Thanks !!!!!
