Windows Repair (All in One) v2.0.1 need help with Reseting File Permissions part
qwerty:
Shane.
I was going to try a backup to flashdrive tonight, and I went into Control Panel, System and Security, Backup and Restore to turn on schedule etc.., this is after doing a good disc clean up earlier, and seen the Restore all Users files with shield on it, and thought why not..let's see what happens, because my backup attempts failed both times I tried via dvd... D drive is my DVD drive.. see attached pic..
There is nothing in my dvd player that backup should not exist.. and Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) is on it...
What happened Shane..is this like a shadow copy or something?
Thanks.

- Use FBackup to backup your harddisk.
http://www.fbackup.com
The program allows you to make a backup to one (large) file or several smaller ones on your HD and then you can copy/burn the (backup) files to another medium.
- It's very likely that you have a special folder (in the main c:\ folder) that contains all the system drivers (along with other bloatware, e.g. your old AV program) for your system. If you can find that then copy that folder to e.g. a USB stick. Then you can re-install all the system drivers when you want to do a clean Win 7 installation.
- When I install a program I always store a copy of that program in a special folder. Makes life so much easier.

Sorry I was gone all weekend, wif eis 7 months prego and sick, so the rest of the house and kids where all mine lol
Before I answer all your questions, do I still need to answer them or where you able to do the repair install? The repair install should be rather simple to do. Don't let all the text overwhelm you :-)

A. Yes please answer them. No was not able to do a repair install...because I was not sure what to do.
All I can figure out is:
1. From the google site, download the one under the heading "Windows 7 (bootable) SP1" Windows 7 x64 Home Prem SP1 because we want it bootable...? Please advise.
2. I am guessing imgburn..will write in 4x speed even if my dvd+R is 16x..? The only dvd I have that is 4x is a dvd+RW. Please advise.
3. I am guessing it doesn't need unzippping because we will burn it to a dvd..? Please advise.
4. After that do I get just restart the pc with the dvd in hope it asks where to boot from or do I have to change anything in the Bios? Please advise.
5. The part I feel the most worried about is the product key. It says on sevenforums "Then run the setup , uncheck the I want to help make Windows
installation better box, then Go online to get the latest updates, Check the I accept the license terms box, and click on Next, Click on the Upgrade option.
Type in your Windows 7 product key number". If the product key Belarc and Speccy gave me is correct, it is NOT the same as on the side of the cpu, then
everything is going to go through alright? Please advice!!!
6. I understand some sort of clean up is after this ..please advise.
Please note if there are steps in this whole process, that are logical to you, that are left out of the above, then likely I will
miss them and mess up. :smiley:
Therefore all help, advice and remember to's are very appreciated!!!
Thanks

1. yes your fine.
2. Yes again your fine :-)
3. Correct again.
4. No you dont boot off the cd, you follow the guide, which has you start the setup inside windows, the repair install is basically doing a upgrade install to the same version, and as with any Windows upgrade you have to start the setup in Windows.
5. Yes it isnt the same key. This is because OEM mfgs have their own cd key that is installed, and when Windows looks at the key, looks at a cert file on the system and looks at the slic table in the bios, when all 3 match then Windows is activated. For now try the key speccy gave you, if the cert file stays on the system then Windows will stay activated.
6. Reinstall antivirus is normally the only thing and sometimes drivers, but normally you will be fine.
