Windows 7 Repair Documentation
This will advise on running a Windows 7 repair to fix
problems with the currently installed version of Windows 7.
Running a Windows 7 system repair will
preserve your files applications and user settings.
There are two ways to run a Windows 7
repair, the first is to boot into Windows and then load the
Windows 7 DVD, then start the setup and perform an upgrade, this
is pretty straight forward, but what is you cannot get into
Windows to run a repair?
This seems to be the most common
issue.
If you’re unable to boot into Windows in
the first place load the Windows DVD and when prompted
Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..
After a few minutes you
will see Starting Windows, and then you’ll see the Install
Windows splash screen.
Choose your Language, Time and Currency format and Keyboard or
input method & Select Next
At the next
Install Screen you will see a Repair your computer
option, select this
Now you will see the System Recovery options
Select your
Operating system and select Next
Now choose your recovery tool, you really have two choices
here
The
Start-up repair or the System Restore
Start-up
Repair
Firstly run the system repair, this will automatically start to
check for errors and should last a few minutes, during this
period your computer might restart several times and this is
normal.
Once
finished you should see a status screen, advising on errors and
if it could repair them
System
Restore
Select this option if the start-up repair finishes, but is
unable to fix the problem.
The system
restore will allow you to return your computer to a previous
date before the problem started occurring; you simply need to
select the relevant date.
Apart from
choosing the date and selecting continue both of these repair
methods are pretty automated.
Notes
The types of problem that cannot be repaired are disk errors,
running a CHKDSK /R might be able to help with this, and
physical hardware problems.

running
CHKDSK read our article on this
and how it works
If you
think the problem is hardware related, this can be either a
newly installed piece of hardware or often it’s a connection
issue and
reseating hardware such as RAM,
CD drives and any other connections may fix the problem.
Windows
also comes with a built in memory hardware error checker, this
can be access from the System recovery options as above.
