Repair Install to Fix Windows 7 Without Reformatting by Britec

Repair Install to Fix Windows 7 Without Reformatting by Britec
Why do I need to do a Repair Installation?
You have tried System Restore and it did not help fix your Windows 7 issues.
You have tried all options ie: chkdsk /r sfc /scannow system restore etc etc to fix your Windows 7 Installation.
You do not want to do a fresh install of Windows 7.
You do want to preserve your user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.
So if you have answered all above then the time is right to do a Repair Install of your Operating System.
Your need:
1. Standard Win7 installation DVD
2. Original 25-character product key (This can be found on a sticker on your PC/Laptop or paperwork that come with your retail copy of Windows 7.)
Lost your product key? well you can recover it with magic jellybean for free.

3. Doing a Repair Install with Windows 7 SP1 with a Pre-SP1 DVD?, then you need to uninstall SP1 before proceeding with the Repair Install. Just uninstall from add and remove programs like I show you in the video.
4. In-case it goes wrong, remember Backup, Backup, Backup before you proceed with the Repair Install.

I'm a little confused. You say to back up the system yet the video is about repairing W7. Now I might be wrong but if I can make a backup then it doesn't need repairing and if it needs repairing then I can't make a back up because being in dis-repair am unable to boot or what ever. So a repair install without reformatting you start out by saying make a backup.....hmmmm. My issue is my boot manager is missing ergo a repair install and I'm seeing that this repair install can not be done with a DVD and has to be done on a running OS. I think this vid need to be called UPGRADE not so much Repair Install because in my mind if it runs posts and boots up then it is in working order and to repair something it is not in running order.

[@moss8448]

SFC /SCANNOW to start then if that still leaves corrupt files then run SFCFix then SFC /SCANNOW again had to do that myself and it works. My issue at the time was boot manager was missing and was unable to boot, unable to do a repair install, so I just reinstalled the OS again. Had all the stuff I wanted to keep on a USB drive the PITA was all the M$ updates. Wish there was a way to save those 200 some odd things.

[@yakk420]

+Sam Moss this is when you boot from the windows disk and do a "START-UP REPAIR". That will cure your problem of a no BOOT in about 10 min or so...

[@ArcanePath360]

+Sam Moss Making a backup of a system that isn't running right is really for your files, in case things get even worse you can always get back your files and some functionality.

[@moss8448]

+ArcanePath360 yeah i was having issues with booting to the desktop and just getting to the system, ergo the repair. have since moved on to W10 and with that (thank goodness) you can do an 'in place' repair using a .iso or thumb drive that more or less 'refreshes' your OS. i keep photos and that sort of thing on thumb drives and if need be of a complete OS reinstall just bite the bullet and reinstall about 2TB's of games on storage hdds. too i have moved on to Macrium Reflect (on a seperate drive along with WinPE to boot to it if need be so as not to lose those dad blamed registry files) for W10 as the built in System Image has issues. agree about the files and stuff but at the time i could not access that and was solely looking for a 'repair'.

[@mariaportugall1933]

+Sam Moss This is just superb, I've been looking for "how to check for registry errors windows xp" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ginro Computify Fixer - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got great success with it.

[@Paultrotter]

a fresh instal is the only way you want to go, repairing windows like this slows down your system as old files and folders are left clogging up the system, registry files etc. not really great idea. fresh instal only

[@francoisarouet5345]

Paul trotter Thanks. One more Catch 22 we were not informed of!

[@MrGameengineer]

Agreed. I've done this kind of thing many times with this version and previous versions of Windows. Fresh install is cleaner. It is a hassle for sure but peace of mind and a better running system is a higher priority for me.

[@jimmyplumb]

You can also open the the windows 7 disc & right click on setup.exe application, Select properties-Select compatibility-select run as XP-Then run the setup .exe application There is no need to delete service pack 1 as it will get over written

[@Britec09]

Yeah, sometimes Repair Install don't work...but you have nothing to lose and if it works, it will save you a lot of time. But its when to know when to do a fresh install, sometimes this is not a option for some people.

[@nzoomed]

This is absolutley no use at all if you cant run windows in the first place! It was brilliant in windows XP, an in place upgrade/repir install would fix most problems 99% of the time, was also useful if you changed hardware, eg a motherboard.

[@Britec09]

You might not need to do a repair install, do a Google search for "mouse and keyboard won't wake up my pc from sleep mode" you should see some fix's to try.

[@Britec09]

If you have Autorun on which is by default, the CD will start up, if not go to my computer and your see your CD in the drive and click on it and it will start up.

[@Britec09]

You can install windows from a copied windows 7 cd, but you must use your licence for your windows 7, and make sure your installing the right version of windows.

[@Britec09]

Nah you can pull product keys from all software, even if the computer don't boot, its real easy and handy to know if your going to have to rebuild the OS

[@marvinjose22]

i watched many of ur tuts , they are very helpful thnks for sharing ur knowledge .

[@Britec09]

I would love one of them big Texas Steaks. I like my bloody so don't over cook it.

[@Britec09]

That's not always the case, but I see your point, but there will be times when its possible to use this method, and its really only used for people who definitely don't want to format.

[@barryallen1035]

HELP!!! I can't even boot into Windows 7 Ultimate, not even from installation media like USB, and repair no longer will pop up in Advanced Boot Options. When I boot my USB flash drive installer it never reaches the installation screen even. The PC just reboots over and over every time I try to boot into anything... all of the safe modes, standard WIndows mode. I got nothing, man. I can't boot into any mode in windows

[@NexusArtRealm]

Here's something to take note of for those contemplating an "upgrade repair". I recently worked this repair method on my Windows 7 64-bit in order to attempt to fix some corrupted system files that could not be repaired using SFC/scannow, command. I wanted to avoid having to to reformat my entire drive or even reapply a system image (which technically must reformat your drive before installing the image, to do it). The entire process took about 3 1/2 hours to complete. Here's why. First off, I have about 83gb worth of data on my C drive, which the repair "upgrade" utility had to gather before moving forward, as you saw in this video. That took almost 30 minutes to complete, alone. By the way, I actually did this using a bootable Windows 7 64bit on a USB stick. As soon as the gathering of files was completed, the rest of the process took about 15 minutes or so to finalize. Then, as soon as I returned back to my desktop, everything seemed fine, but then I was presented with a lil' surprise from Windows Update. Apparently, I had to reinstall EVERY update back into my system. That's over 200 updates! I doubled checked my installed update list to make certain this wasn't a mistake and sure enough, only 2 hot fixes were installed during repair but not a single security patch to be found. At this point, I facepalmed hard.... But I went ahead and allowed all the important and recommended updates to download and install in the background. Basically, took about 1 or so, hours to download it all (because sometimes it takes a while for your computer to connect with Windows Update online) and then an additional hour and a half to install them all. After several self restarts, my computer successfully reinstalled every single update without a fail and my machine ran smooth. No more crashes, etc. HOWEVER... I was told by my system, to remove iTunes before moving forwards with the upgrade repair which I accidentally ignored and sure enough, my iTunes did not work after a second reboot, when everything went back to normal. To fix this minor issue, I simply uninstalled iTunes, then restarted, then reinstalled the latest iTunes software. Everything peachy now. But this TOOK FOREVER. The video makes it seem like it'd take only a few minutes. It's good to know, depending on what you have running under the hood and how much stuff you have in your boot drive, the repair process can take hours. A system image restore takes far less time and so long as you made the snap shot when your system was running perfectly, you should have no issues. Everything, including your last desktop wallpaper, game settings, etc, will be back where you last left them when you first created your system image back up. Anyways, thanks for sharing the helpful vid. It really does work to repair your operating system. It can take a long time though. But worth it in the end.

[@Th3M4larky]

+Nar Comic Underworld Well his PC had less crap in the hard drive than what you had. I have games in my PC so mine would take a while.

[@esclad]

Same here. Followed everything mentioned in the video but all my programs don't work now :( Looks like a clean install for me - bit of a waste of time.

[@Britec09]

Speccy is a nice free bit of software that works well, and yes it will also do the job, tbh there is to many that will do that job. Magic jelly bean was one of the first i think.

[@teelee3084]

Next vid should be how to practice safe cyber sex and avoid getting a virus

[@Britec09]

Not sure on that thomas. I would have to check it up.

[@Britec09]

I think if your that infected do a fresh install.

[@Britec09]

It means to use this method of repair you will need to be at desktop ie: PC must be booted up and you see your wallpaper on screen which is called the desktop.

[@Britec09]

Your welcome.

[@Britec09]

Well if you have tried all i talked about in the video and it all fails then its time to backup and reinstall.

[@nicholas20051967]

i must have deleted windows installer on windows 7 home..because when i try ti install some programs it says windows installer service not found...if i do a repair will it fix this?

[@WanWan-fm1yo]

can someone help me? i can't uninstall my service pack

[@carlingtonme]

Does this still work in 2019? Not ready for Win 10...will Windows still update the registry?

[@MrJohnnew2]

Fantastic video well done. I have a problem getting my laptop to enter safe mode so I can repair some but issues in the background so I've just completed the update as per this video, something I wouldn't have been able to do were it not for the concise and simple process explained. Not sure yet if this will sort it but thanks for the help so far well done again. John

[@Britec09]

That's why I said make a image of the drive before you start encase it goes wrong.

[@Britec09]

Belarc advisor is also very good.

[@saroshaga]

I can't uninstall service pack 1 cuz I can't get into my OS in the first place!!!!

[@tahir6500]

Brian how do you think can i withdraw product key with Magical jelly bean from a newly installed OS..?...or it works only after Repair Installation..?

[@tomasarango3247]

what if we don't have "service pack"?

[@psicologocarlosgris2]

After uninstalling Service Pack 1, the system asks for a restart. If you do that, the system will not boot up. It will tell you that the computer failed to start and give you the option to do a Start up Repair.If you chose that ption, Windows will install the Service Pack again. So?? Your video does not indicate wether to restart or not after uninstalling the Service Pack, but since it does not indicate so, one must asume that you DO NOT restart the system after uninstalling the service pack but rather go directly to the set up from the DVD. IS THAT CORRECT?

[@Britec09]

Acronis is a awesome bit of software. Have a great weekend.

[@stevenfox3342]

It shows that I have service Pack 1 Installed on my computer;however, I don't see service pack 1 listed in programs and features. What I am going to do? How I am going to fix restore to previous windows for windows 7 appearing every time I turned on my computer or restart my computer.

[@nitehawk230]

Steven Fox Same for me

[@Jhihmoac]

I had this problem, did something close to this procedure, got back up and running, but with plenty of ongoing hiccups, app failures, and internet connectivity issues, none of which ever could be locked down...Since I had most of my stuff already saved on a succession of disks, I just went ahead and reformatted the HD and started over...Everything worked fine then, but it took the better part of a month to get things back where I was...

[@guopa1]

Hi Britec 09, yesterday i used a hacking tool, that enabled me to post URL on yahoo comments and here on youtube. I logged in with my yahoo email account, and posted a URL website address on the comment section of a newsfeed. The next day i tried logging back to yahoo with the same email address, and as you can guess i couldn't. I am wondering, was i hacked? I am using Brutus to hack back my email password, but yahoo doesn't use pop3 anymore, so i doubt it will work. What can i do? Pls HELP ME!!

[@DragonsREpic]

Why does the service pack need to be uninstalled? Wait I need a boot disk, how do I do that? (If not I could totally use one) All I need for the repair install is the damn cd the computer came with?! =O How the fuck are you still recording. sorry about about m anger but I need to do this right cuz if my files or something is fucked up im definitely not going to be a happy camper.

[@kjemradio]

Brian I actually ran into a situation in Vista where I did a repair and actually lost some data files. What I found is that even if you save to the hard drive it is still not a fool proof way that the data won't get removed (or overwritten) during a repair (or restore). Windows does a system wide save which would basically make sure that in the event a user repairs or restores the system personal files are not lost. I have never found a place in Windows that controls when that save happens.

[@zx8401ztv]

Thanks brian :-) Ive never done this with 7 yet, xp and others i have. Sometimes ive found even replacing files does not fix the problem, so all data is backed up including keys and a list of the drivers installed. Then killdisk is used to remove everything. If its an old install of windys it can really be very very slow, even after deinstalls/cleanups/defrags/re­gclean and other attempts to speed it up. a fresh install does a world of good with an old install :-)

[@frankieb7205]

CAUTION!!! Pay close attention to the 1st screen you get when you run the Windows 7 dvd. If you don't get the screen with INSTALL on it or you get a screen about moving you files to a window.old folder before it begins installing, then it will delete your programs. I think this means the DVD probably doesn't have the upgrade option. I tried multiple versions of windows 7 64 bit dvd before I finally found one.

[@zx8401ztv]

Agreed mate :-), i would love to know what slows windys down over time, ive done everything i can to some systems to make it faster and failed, killdisk and a fresh install often turns them into a rocketship. Ive allways wondered if microsoft has a date dependant slowdown designed on purpose, me and conspiracy thoughts lol.

[@Britec09]

Windows has a burning tool built in its OS

[@bassax7045]

with pre installed windows 7 laptop/pc ,it isnt possible to repair windows only option is factory settings ,and start from scratch microsoft doesnt even have customer support if windows came installed with the computer,,they charge money then they only help if you bought a loose version on disk

[@Dark-Wisper]

Dear Brian, i tried to repair my windows7, but i can;t enter windows. It freezes before windows ever loads. Simply a back screen. Pressing F8 to enter safe mode never pops up. Tried with windows recovery console via the DVD but says no windows was detected. Help please?

[@Britec09]

Your welcome

[@Gteesma]

I'm really new to this things, I hope someone answers. Why do I need to uninstall my service pack 1 ?

[@Britec09]

You can use your windows 7 ultimate cd

[@harrybyton3639]

I have a windows 7 laptop coming to me in the next few days. It doesn't get past the welcome screen but the mouse and the network connections tab comes up. Have you any idea what might be the cause?

[@nissmo3311]

If you have anything really important, just use a live cd or safe mode to go in and recover your files. Then format and reinstall windows. that's about your only option if you can't get windows to boot.

[@Dark-Wisper]

I can't backup because i can't enter windows. I would of tried what you just talked in the video, but windows doesn't boot. Any CD/DVD, any boot CD/Live CD i can use???

[@Britec09]

Thanks, glad you like my channel and videos.

[@turtletwi]

This will break your installed programs. You'll have to reinstall them plus you end up with the window.old folder. not as innocent as it looks

[@francoisarouet5345]

Well that always makes you feel good when you save all your programs and DON'T have to do a fresh install, good job there mate.

[@Dark-Wisper]

It was not caused by a virus, something hit the PC case and got a BSOD after. From that accident Win7 stopped working.

[@katerose7118]

I have a question. I am not good with computers but I want to try this. My question may be silly to some but I am confused at the beginning. We put the disk in but we are not to boot the disk so how do we get the windows page to show up on the desk top so we can click on the install now button? I am one who needs the basic instructions that those who know how to work with computers don't think about. Thanks.

[@jdsgotninelives]

Hi Britec 09, just used your method and all went very well. Before doing this I used your vid on virus removal with Kas rescue cd and all the others (combo fix etc). Is there a similar method with XP?. Did this one too with XP but lost Windows Explorer and Outlook Express and had a bit of trouble correcting it but eventually got there. The XP one is a bit moody with the method I was using.

[@Imdabossou]

Hello can you help me, it says The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. You can’t upgrade 64-bit Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 64-bit version of the installation disc, or go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings. 32-bit Windows cannot be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 32-bit version of the Windows installation disc. So it doesnt detect what bit it is and cant update..

Would like to know before I proceed is that I'm getting error 103 and error 324 on Chrome browser, cant access facebook, pinterest n a few other sites on all browsers via my pc but on my laptop all is 100% fine. Also getting an error message on Win Update n Java Update. If I proceed with the instructions will the system be able to update Win, if not I guess I will have to do a fresh install. Tried fixing via every method thus far, no luck, also uninstalled virus checker

[@brandystarbrite3236]

Wow! Interesting case. You're not the first one who went through that problem. If I understand your problem correctly, It may be an Avast Glitch. Uninstall Avast, then reinstall it. Some Avast software/program updates (not the virus definition updates) cause freezing GUI interface glitches so be careful. I went through this problem too, about twice. So uninstall, then reinstall. Hope it works for you. Bye.

[@brandystarbrite3236]

Hi. It could be because of the registry is full of Tmp. files and unnecessary files. Which sometimes clutters Windows performance and slows down boot up time. Get a safe registry cleaner. That might help. Or, it could be unnecessary updating software from 3rd party companies, that are constantly searching for updates while you use your PC. Or, in the worse case scenario, it could be your GPU or Graphics card. But I doubt that. If you've never Defragged your Hard Drive, Defrag your drive.

[@GigabyteC300]

I normally do clean install every 6-12 months or so, I thought I'd give the Windows Repair a shot & save a bit of time. I was a bit concerned that there was no Service Pack 1 in my list of updates. I assume it's because it's included in my installation CD so there has never been an update for it. Anyway the Repair seemed to work just fine. I did need to uninstall itunes as the deauthorise attempts didn't work. Thanks for all your VDOs, I have utilised several of them.

[@patientlyquiet]

Is your windows 7 disc ultimate preinstalled SP1? If so, it's already comes preinstalled so therefore it will not download from microsoft and put in list of installed updates. If you don't see it and it's a SP1 pre-install, just use the same disc you used to install (ie. not different copy of windows-I'm sure some people have tried)

IMO, it's practically useless (like most MS solutions) if you have to be at the desktop before you can complete the operation. It was ignorant to create an os re-install procedure that only works if there's practically nothing wrong with the os. Thanks again go to Microsludge.

Do you think this will repair a laggy keyboard? My son's computer started acting up yesterday, and I did all the malware scans & virus scans & repairs that I can.

hey you can make USB bootable device by using Windows DVD/USB tool you can download them free in Microsoft. The instructions are very easy unlike burning CD would take time and too complex.
