but it didnt workded


he doesnt want a new fresh install

he want to recover it old windows cause he doesnt want to reinstalll any programs


any ideas how i can help him ?

thank u in advance

you should be able to do a repair install, and avoid windows8 if you dual boot and you dont want to reinstall its not very stable

windows 7 startup repair could not detect any problems


how can i repair it then

a repair install should work if you have a disc

no errors detected thats what disk said

so finally downloaded a system restore disk

and worked :F like a charm booted up pc and i fixed the

boot options
