• Damaged Windows Installer? How to repair or reinstall?

  I have problems installing windows updates as well as my new security of trendmicro.  I think it's because the windows installer does not work correctly.  Does anyone know how to reinstall the windows installer, or fix it?

  My problem has been resolved by repairing the registry.  I didn't feel comfortable doing myself in vista (fix registry in XP and older OS) - I had a computer scientist to work for me to do.  I think the instructions they give you online will fix it.

  Good luck!

  Hello

  Microsoft does not disks for computers manufactured OEM.

  This is for Acer to do, if they still have any available.

  As you never have a disc, you must have a recovery Partition to reinstall the operating system.

  To start the system recovery:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
  3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
  4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.

• Serious teething problems (problems of ubuntu-windows, hard disk problems boot loader)

  I have a laptop ASUS K50IN with recovery partition windows preinstalled on the hard disk (Windows 7, Home Premium edition, 64 - bit).

  I formatted the entire hard drive with Lubuntu installation dvd, I used Lubuntu, for a few weeks with success.
  (I used a removable drive for installation.)
  After that, I wanted to do a dual-boot system (windows-ubuntu).
  I deleted the windows install Summary Lubuntu with recovery partition, so I downloaded a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit and burned to dvd (I have my product key from the back of the machine). Downloaded from: msft.digitalrivercontent.net.
  I deleted the partitions lubuntu until windows install with windows dvd, made a partition for windows (with the 100 MB system reserved required),
  and began the installation process which took place successfully, but it failed to restart after the installation. As much as I remember came problems.
  I had a few bad boots, but I managed to run the new windows 7, made some configurations, programs installed on it. I always have problems with reboots. (It was stable when I have manged to get into windows itself.)
  I searched the net and found that ubuntu uses grab as boot loader, and it isn't getting deleted with the simple formatting even with a windows installation.
  I tried to repair the boot loader of windows to the Master Boot Record by running the command from the windows installation disk prompt (many tries to start).
  I tried these commands unsuccessfully:
  /fixmbr Bootrec.exe,
  /FixBoot Bootrec.exe,
  /RebuildBcd Bootrec.exe,

  (by the way these commands responded succession of repair)

  Bootsect/nt60 SYS/MBR,
  list not found no operating system compatible hits.

  (Auto repair could not fix problem.)

  Then I used DBAN to completely wipe my drive.
  I used the values in interactive mode (PRNG:mersenne twister, method: DoD short, collar to check: last).
  Ran for 9 hours, crushed 3 times, has completed successfully without errors.
  I read that it removes the MBR sector too.
  I tried to start the windows installation disc, and it shut my computer when it arrives at the end of the second bar with "WINDOWS IS LOADING of FILES.
  Same problem with the installation of ubuntu dvd.

  Same problem with the DBAN disk.

  Same problem when booting from the hard drive.

  Keeps turning itself off in unpredictable ways. Sometimes, I managed to get in installation disc menus, then comes the turn off.

  Above all it stops early in the boot process.

• Reinstalling Windows without installation disks

  Let me clarify some things that I think are made:

  Laptop = ideapad z575 which is a windows 7 64 bit computer.

  Windows wouldn't boot because it has an error since avg and update wondows - avg seem to be ashamed that their driver is the last show at startup but remove avg then showed another driver and it all points to a depth of problem.
  In short, I feel that a reinstallation is the best way forward.

  I saved my data sisters so happy to do a quick format and reinstall of windows 7 - have the serial number sticker, but no disk I do not think that it shipped in all.

  I didn't modify all partitions, but using a utility disk in the back that I was able to access it via the standard boot drive I can put another active partition... now to return back I had to create a bootable utility that I made from USB, it also allows me to inspect the readers through a windows interface.

  So I am here and able to do a lot in the back through my USB. I saw and was able to run a recovery program that is located on one of the partitions. But he told me that something was friends with readers and I think it's because of my defining a different partition as the only active.

  What is the next best step for me it feels exaggerated do not use partition lenovo gave to reinstall windows, hoping I wouldn't need browse and find/download all the drivers, etc... and not to mention updates of bios etc...

  I can say that I have the following discs and back access and access through GUI.

  When I say access via the GUI I found that I was able to do this system revoery options screen when he says click to search the drivers an interface will appear and where I can the eyebrows of all partitions and USB - which was pretty cool. The button says "Load Drivers" and from there, I can choose the partition and try and run one touch back.

  When he first boot from USB it looks like as it is by default and selects a Boot called drive (X and the default folder is the Windows/System32 folder.)

  Here are the disks or partitions I can see and explore

  Lenovo (C 27.5 Free GB GB 28.9 contains just request files and drivers.)

  Local disk (E it looks like there's a Windows installation on it that I can see my sistsers files in the my documents (I got these by using XCOPY to get the complete recursive directory and do be careful if you use just "copy" as it will ignore folders and files inside!)) For me, it's the normal bootable disc and one that is broken.
  349 GB free of 421 GB so this seems to confirm that it is the main trunk and use the partition.

  Local disk (D only 166 199MB MB no said no files and folders at least since the GUI - perhaps back can show me something...)

  Start (X 29.1 MB of free space of 31.5 MB I don't think it's my USB (NOT confirmed) the last modified date is 2009! he seems to have a windows installation - is possible to reinstall from that?) I tried to click on a setup.exe found here but it does not work via the GUI as it comes to find specific drivers is not not a general file Explorer.

  I have 2 drives USB also visible to help me. I got the above files to another on the ERD. And the 3rd is the CD. If these are known as CDROM (F, Reapir disk (G: I did that) and 32 GB Flash (H)

  Maybe I need to burn an iso install wondows in the latter. Who can be a last resort.

  What is perhaps a few right steps to take right now. I think I should be able to change my active partition and get a contact working again by reversing what I was doing back disk partition - don't remember the name... a few trial and error required.

  But I hope that with this info I can get my sisters laptop that works again. I think also that if I took it to a local shop they will simply be to format and reinstall windows 7 and drivers do not care to take the time to maybe get to a situation of factory. It is because the baisc economy. I don't want to go that route because I know I can do what I want to just make the best way.

  Knew nothing about this function - will keep in mind for the next window of time slows down or does not start - throw his toys out of the pram etc... suffering from windows computer slow? You are not alone

  In any case, I think I've sorted it. Hope that C is not too fragmented because I chose to not be complicated with a format and keep the original scores. In this way its just easier.

  Wifi that I had remembered to disable in the BIOS.
