Windows Repair tools when a Windows 7 DVD is not available?

Hello all! 
I'm assessing my options for a Windows repair when:  1.  No Windows DVD/CD is available, 2.  The factory restore is not an option, and 3.  When Windows SFC and Chkdsk don't seem to find a problem and even a tool from Tweaking called 'All-in-One'.
doesn't seem to restore full functionality.  
Specifically I'm trying to repair a .net issue that is preventing the 4.5.2 update from installing (windows update fails with code 643), but with this particular computer, I'm also trying to repair other things.
Thanks!

1. Give try to Aaron Stebner .NET removal tool and reinstall .NET.
2. That is why it is recommended to backup vanilla plain system...
3. Ask someone from your friend or ask computer vendor support (if you have OEM).

  • Windows' boot tools (bootrec, bcdedit, etc) should be all available, have GUI versions also

    windows' boot tools (bootrec, bcdedit, etc) should be all available, have GUI versions also. and some are very hard to use, especially bcdedit.exe, so some simplification of the complexity is needed or some very good documentation and how-tos in the windows
    help.
    having GUI versions of the tools would save a LOT of headache. the GUIDs needed by the program are hard to get, waste time on the user's part trying to find them, and it's generally a very error-prone process trying to use the current toolset to make a computer
    bootable [again].
    also, when a computer used to be bootable, but is bootable no more because a critical drive was removed, the BCD and boot sector cannot be rebuilt on the disk that has \Windows on it or any other drive for that matter, from what I have seen, the capability
    is just not there or has been disabled. please fix.
    XP made the booting process simple. in this case, simpler is better when it comes to computer repair [businesses]. you just edited a boot.ini file and you had a boot sector and some system files and that was it. If I needed to change the config, I could,
    with notepad or any favorite text editor, even with a linux [rescue] livecd and a few commands, and the computer was back up and running if before it woudn't boot.

  • Why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.

  • Windows 7 install stops at "CD/DVD driver not found"

    When trying to install Windows 7 with boot camp, all goes well until it stops and gives me the "CD/DVD driver not found". I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with a 500 GB SSD drive. I have burned a DVD at 1X from a iso file.
    Thanks

    Can you verify the MD5/SHA1 of the DVD with the ISO using OS X 'openssl md5' or the M$ FCIV tool? The source of your ISO should be able to provide MD5/SHA1.
    OS X Example
    openssl md5 ~/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr
    MD5(/Users/MyName/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr)= 977f4f0f1400be91855789213e07b031
    Windows FCIV example
    D:\>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FCIV\fciv

    Usage:  fciv.exe [Commands] <Options>
    Commands: ( Default -add )

  • Windows repair installation Pavilions a6720y Windows Vista 64 bit

    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    I recently had a serious PC problem. I knew that I would have to hand my PC over to someone and selected a Local Technical Specialists (Geek Squad) who diagnosed it as a crashed main HD, installed a new Drive and reinstalled the OS from recovery disks provided by HP.
    I personally had to reinstall many programs and settings. I needed specialist assistance to reestablish my home network that did work before the crash with the same hardware but not after.
    My Main PC is a desktop:
    HP Pavillian,
    Model a6720y,
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit,
    6GB Physical Memory,
    connected to a DSL Modem via Ethernet connection.
    My second PC is a Dell Pavillion B130 Laptop, Windows XP
    DSL Modem provided by Verizon, is a WestTell modem.
    I have an External 1 TB HD from HP, a HP HD3000, Ser # TH1B32Y047
    The System Recovery was performed with discs that I received from HP. System Recovery, Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, HP505283-001, Build ID 91ANv6PrA1.
    I am contacting you because I believe that something went wrong with the reinstallation or there was more that should have been done after the initial Reinstall.
    Within hours of bringing the PC home, I discovered that Windows Media Player was not working. I contacted the local support organization. They advised that yes there was a problem with Windows Media Player and downloaded an alternate program for playing Videos, VLC.
    After installing several 3rd party program that were Video DVD maker Utilities, I started to have problems that did not exist before the reinstall. This is of course with the same hardware except for the new Internal HD.
    I contacted the local support because I was having serious problems reestablishing my at home local network. I was informed that there were some serious Vista problems.
    Can you comment on the above?
    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    My PC is out of warranty but I did purchase and renew that HP Care Pack Support Service. That may also have expired. My last renewal that I can find was Tran # CA03207588-0001.
    Your response to the above, especially your advice on a Windows Repair would be appreciated.

  • Can Openbox change window transparency/opacity when moving windows?

    Can I configure, within Openbox or a compositing manager, differing window transparency/opacity when moving a window?

    I'm currently using cairo-compmgr, but I've also used xcompmgr in the past. I've played around with the settings in both (and transset-df with xcompmgr), with no luck thus far. While getting terminal and tint2 transparency is fairly trivial, and I've also read that you can set specific windows to always have a certain level of transparency/opacity, I'm not sure that you can get the level of opacity/transparency to change whenever you grab a window and move it around. I think I read that the difficulty lies in the fact that Openbox knows when a window is being moved around, but a compositer doesn't. What I'm looking for may only be possible in a DE where the window management and compositing are integrated (e.g. KWin). Just wondering if anybody has done this with Openbox and a specific compositing manager paired together.

  • Need assistance with VAMT/Preserving Windows 7 Activation when Reinstalling Windows (MAK) - Urgent

    Hello,
    My current HDD (500GB SATA 3 Toshiba HDD) is failing, and displaying a warning. I bought a new WD 750 GB HDD to replace it making sure it is compatible with SATA 3.
    Problem: Reinstalling Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 Professional Plus and activating both of them.
    Activation/Products Affected:
    They are "Retail" versions (MAK) but Academic so the activation limit is between 2 and 5. (Yes, they are only installed on One Computer, are Genuine and are compliant....).
    Background: I am a college student, taking IT related courses and we have to install a lot of resource intensive software. I usually reinstall Windows every 4-6 months to "Start Fresh"
    which I notice improved performance and only install necessary software. This is using up the MAK activations as is to be expected.
    Goal: I would like to use VAMT 2.0 (or ideally 3.0 -but I have zero knowledge of SQL). I also do not have a server, just 2 or 3 Standard Laptops (Windows 8.1, Windows XP Home, and this Windows
    7 PC).
    I already watched the below video on VAMT 2.0 before posting:
    http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/using-vamt-2-0/10tkzhtlq
    Can I use proxy activation in this case to "preserve the Activations by using VAMT to store the Installation and Confirmation ID's to avoid having frequent activation problems? If so, can someone please help me?
    I tried to set the WMI Windows Firewall Rules to Allow for Public, Home and Work on both PC's but was unable to activate in a previous attempt a few months ago.
    Any help is more than appreciated. I am backing up all of my files and have to get this completed before college courses resume (in 3 days).
    Thank you in advance, and sorry for the long post!

    If you do a full image of the current 500GB HDD and then restore it to the 750GB HDD you will preserve the Windows Activation.  This will work with any backup that does a full image of the HDD including Windows 7 Backup.
    Windows 7 Backup will only restore an exact duplicate of the original 500GB HDD retaining the same partition scheme and sizes which can be expanded later.  Most third party backup programs will restore to a larger HDD and expand the current partitions. 
    Some give you the option to control the size of the expanded individual partitions.

  • GPS Error on F3507g & Windows 7 "The GPS NMEA COM Port is not available" x200

    I have an X200 with a WWAN Card 43R153 (Ericsson F3507g) running Window 7.
    The WWAN reliably connects to Vodafone but I can't get the GPS to work.
    Device manager shows this port Enabled:-
    Ericsson E3507G Mobile Broadband MiniCard GPS Port (Com8)
    Driver Invogps.sys from Ericsson AB, Version 1.0.0.28  29/09/2008.
    Thinkvantage GPS version 2.50 is also installed and Lenovo System Update says everything is up to date.
    When I "Turn on GPS" or run 'Lenovs GPS"  I get this message:-
    The GPS NMEA COM port is not available. You need to check the following things.
    - Another GPS application is using the COM port.
    - COM ports is disabled. You can enable the COM port in the Device Manager.
    Location and Other Sensors shows nothing installed.
    I've tried deleting all the drivers and reinstalling but not luck.
    Has anyone else had the same problem and found a solution. I can't think of anything else to try.
    ThinkPad X200 7459-1P0

    If you are running a Windows 7 Weather Gadget on your desktop, try shutting it down entirely and see if that changes your GPS "in use" problem.

  • DVD Writer not available under Limited User account

    Hi
    In one of our computers, with Encore CS3 installed and a Pioneer DVD Writer (with functional ASPI layer), I have the following problem :
    If I try to export a project to DVD burning, the writer is not available, but if I modify the account of the user to set it as an administrator, the writer appears on the DVD Export window.

  • Material should be determined when then the stock is not available

    Dear All,
    One of our scenario is to do material determination. But the alternative material should be determined only when the actual material is not in stock.
    Kindly suggest the solution.
    Regards,
    Mullairaja

    As rightly said by friend Anirudh V B,
                     its possible through Material Determination. But not possible without ABAP coding.
    With the help of ABAP with min coding you can achieve this,
    like,
    let the ABAPer write coding to check the stock availability of the entered material before triggering "material determination" records.
    To do this availability check , then can jsut use the existing Function modules : BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY (OR) AVAILABILITY_CHECK.  if the stock found zero / nil, let the "materail determination should trigger, else process as normal .
                its already available, doenst need / take much time , but ABAP involvement is needed to fulfill your requirement.

  • Error when renting a movie: Item not available

    I'm having trouble renting a movie from the iTunes store. It keeps giving te message: Item not available - make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it allows cookies from the iTunes Store. Both are fine - date and time are right and cookies are not blocked...
    What's causing this and how can I fix it?

    Apple Tech support doesn't respond here. This is a user-to-user forum.
    You can always restore your Touch to get the memory back. And as, of course, you have everything properly backed up (you do, right?), you can just reload when you're done. I don't know as there is a faster solution.
    Best of luck.

    Hi,
    Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether there is a hardware problem with the optical drive itself. 
    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
    The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( as should your Recovery Discs ) , so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive or the sata controller.
    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if your noteboo will run this OS from the CD.  The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
    Let me know if this will run.
