How do you repair windows entirely using your Windows Vista DVD
I would like to know how to repair Windows Vista entirely by using my
Windows Vista disc, and still saving all my data, (files and programs). Can someone please explain this to me, thanks -- Thank you, Have a nice day, Jonathan Yaniv Microsoft Windows LiveT Butterfly Expert |

Be aware that it is *not*; it solves *some* problems, and does nothing for others. A repair installation normally does not affect your data or programs. But you should also be aware that there are no guarantees that it always works perfectly. However unlikely, it's always possible that something might go wrong. For that reason it's prudent to be sure you have a backup of anything you can't afford to lose before beginning. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Re: How do you repair windows entirely using your Windows Vista DVD
Hi,
You don't, you install to a new folder without formatting. Programs will have to be reinstalled afterwards, but data can be recovered from the old user profiles under windows.old. Vista does not have the repair install function that XP did. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP Windows help - My thoughts "Jonathan Yaniv- Windows Live Butterfly Expert" <> wrote in message news:.gbl... >I would like to know how to repair Windows Vista entirely by using my >Windows Vista disc, and still saving all my data, (files and programs). > > Can someone please explain this to me, thanks > > -- > Thank you, > > Have a nice day, > > Jonathan Yaniv > Microsoft Windows LiveT Butterfly Expert > > |

Re: How do you repair windows entirely using your Windows Vista DVD
Not guaranteed. I recommend running setup over the existing installation, it
should carry over your existing settings, files and programs. -- Andre Blog: My Vista Quickstart Guide: "Jonathan Yaniv- Windows Live Butterfly Expert" <> wrote in message news:.gbl... > And that will fix ALL Windows Vista files?? > > -- > Thank you, > > Have a nice day, > > Jonathan Yaniv > Microsoft Windows LiveT Butterfly Expert > > > "Andre Da Costa [ActiveWin]" <> wrote in message > news:... >> Insert your Windows Vista DVD, make sure your BIOS setting is set to boot >> from the optical disk >> Boot from the Vista DVD into the Windows Recovery Environment >> Choose your language settings, and then click Next. >> Click Repair your computer link on the setup page. >> Select the operating system you want to repair, and the click Next. >> Click Startup Repair >> -- >> Andre >> Blog: >> My Vista Quickstart Guide: >> >> "Jonathan Yaniv- Windows Live Butterfly Expert" <> wrote in >> message news:.gbl... >>>I would like to know how to repair Windows Vista entirely by using my >>>Windows Vista disc, and still saving all my data, (files and programs). >>> >>> Can someone please explain this to me, thanks >>> >>> -- >>> Thank you, >>> >>> Have a nice day, >>> >>> Jonathan Yaniv >>> Microsoft Windows LiveT Butterfly Expert >>> >>> >> |
