well first thing is does your computer still boot up in windows.. if it does then u need to get a external hard drive and transfer all your stuff to it then u wan’t lose your data and files.. then just reload the operating system completely by deleting partition and making new and formatting the drive then windows will install itself. but if u chose to repair windows you should have no problems either it will jus replace missing files and all needed for proper operation..
the web site will explain it to you
If you cant comprehend what the wesite is telling you, you wont comprehend anything someone else tells you either! Take your system to someone who knows what they are doing!
you will be fine if you do a repair
i didnt really look at the site but ive done several windows repairs
the only problems ive come across is missing drivers that need to get replaced and ive had to reinstall a couple programs.
on data has ever been lost though. i dont know what the website says to do but it is very easy. stick in the cd press any key to boot from cd when prompted if not prompted you need to set this in your bios. change the boot order to boot from cd 1st. once you are booting from the cd the computer will go through some processes you will get to a part where it asks you if you want to install or repair choose repair it will ask if you want windows to repair of if you want to use the recovery console choose let windows repair. the computer will go through some more steps eventually it will reboot. aftre reboot one of two things will happen either the computer will go right into the logon screen cause it fixed whatever was wrong in the 1st process it ran or it will act like it is reinstalling everything from scratch dont worry though its not. this will take some time to complete and youll have to answer some basic questions like the language and time zone things like that. once its done everything should be fine. all you have to do really is start the process and the computer will take care of the rest. i hope this helps. good luck
