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:[email protected]] 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:[email protected]] 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 <[email protected]> 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
