Re: Reinstallation of Windows 7
I completely disagree. In the past year or two, I've performed 2 or 3 repair installs directly from the Windows 7 DVD. This repair works far better than in XP and below (and it's even a little better than in Vista). I've been able to correct different issues with the registry or missing/wrong DLLs that were preventing a system from booting. What you seem to be discussing is the ability to perform an in-place upgrade of a Windows XP system to the same version (or one with a better Service Pack) in order to replace all the DLLs, and correct *some* registry related items.This because the preferred way to fix XP because the other repair option provided was generally hopeless, and XP upgrades don't take that long, in most cases -- especially with newer hardware. In Vista and Win7, this method of installing the OS over itself as though you were upgrading it, requires that you can boot into the OS to the desktop. So, that part of your point is valid. But, as a repair mechanism, I find that it is no longer necessary, as the intended repair option works much better. Having said all that, what is the specific failure scenario that you are looking to recover from? * * *ASB* *http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker* *Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market… * On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 12:47 AM, HELP_PC g...@enter.it wrote: I think everybody knows that with XP you could perform a repair install from the boot cd This exactly what you cannot do with windows 7.

RE: Reinstallation of Windows 7
This article states you CAN upgrade/repair from the DVD. It lists the steps. Looks hopeful. http://www.pcworld.com/article/243190-2/how_to_repair_a_corrupt_windows_7_in stallation.html (See page 2) To begin the repair installation process, insert the installation media and run Setup (if it doesn't launch automatically). In the Setup window, click the Install Now button, and you'll have the choice of continuing the installation with downloadable updates or without them. If your Internet connection is working, you should probably choose to download the updates, but you can choose whichever option suits your fancy. Next you must accept the terms of the license and then choose whether to perform an Upgrade installation or a Custom installation. You're repairing a corrupt install, so choose Upgrade (the Custom option won't save your personal files or settings). -Original Message- From: HELP_PC [mailto:g...@enter.it] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 12:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: R: Reinstallation of Windows 7 Upgrade option requires you start from within Windows Guido Elia HELPPC - HELPPC SERVICE -Messaggio originale- Da: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Inviato: giovedì 9 febbraio 2012 18.39 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: Re: Reinstallation of Windows 7 On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 12:13 PM, HELP_PC g...@enter.it wrote: Is there a way to install over Windows 7 starting from the DVD (In case of troubles of booting) http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=reinstallation+of+Windows+7 -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

You asked for reinstall. None of the results found with the above link suggest that a (re)install cannot be done from DVD. For example, the first match is for Microsoft's procedure that explains exactly what you originally asked for. Have you tired them? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
