How To Erase Files From a CD-RW Disc ?

<< < (4/4)

Boggin:
I was wondering if it had been because I'd downloaded it a couple of times - I had no problem downloading a Pro 64 bit version as I could use that for an offboot sfc /scannow and when you remove the eicfg file, you then have an universal install disk down overs.

If I'd known you wanted the install disk for after a reformat because of system errors, you could have booted up with the disk and selected Repair your Computer and selected Command Prompt to run an offboot sfc /scannow which may have negated the need to reformat.

Enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" then using whichever letter it gives for the partition enter (assuming C: )

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows and that checks your system files against a clean copy.

I've only ever known that to fail to repair all files once and that was for a missing .dll which wasn't a system file.

Hey Boggin, What is the best "burning program" in your opinion?

While I have Nero preinstalled on this laptop (which I've never used), other than the Win 7 USB/DVD burner I've used to create Win 7 Install disks - I find ImgBurn very easy to use which also has a variable speed setting, but it normally defaults to the slowest which gives best results. http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn

This isn't the author's site, but from FileHippo you don't have to worry about it including any PuPs.
