That's the same link that Willy2 has posted in http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,4355.0.html

You can give it a try but if unsuccessful, just PM me your address and I'll send you a couple of Win 7 SP1 install disks - just need to know if you are using 32 or 64 bit versions.

While there is a method to change the product key to your COA sticker key which may/not work following a repair install, there's no point in trying to repair your install while you have a failing HDD.

It is 64bit and I tried to download from that site and when you click on the appropriate download link they ask for a program code and I have no code. If you would send me the install disks I will send you an Interact e- money transfer for whatever it costs, I don't expect you to be out of pocket to help me.

My wife's computer is a Dell Inspiron 1764, 64-bit, 4.00 GB usable and she is running  Windows 7 Home Premium same as me and I did a full back-up to DVD and system repair disc.

Thanks Tom for everything, you are a good Man.

Quick question: The wireless Modem is hooked up through a USB port to my computer, "the crashed" computer, once I re-load windows and loose all original programs and files will I loose my internet connection or are the settings within the modem itself so my wife's computer will remain connected. Sorry for the dumb questions.
Have a great day
Pete

Are you using an USB wireless dongle for your Internet and is your wife's machine sharing the connection ?

If that's the case then you could plug that into your wife's machine while the problematic computer is out of action.

Not sure what a dongle is. It's just a phone line into Modem and a USB from out Modem and in Compute.

The cables from modems or routers usually connect to an Ethernet (RJ45) port on the computer which is different to an USB port.

When you say "modem" - is this an all in one modem router which also broadcasts a wireless signal ?

My previous modem didn't require USB connection however this modem has that USB connection.
The name of the modem is (Sagemcom) F@ST 2704N routers 1 and the manual says adapts the ADSL function respectively on POTS (ITU G992.1/3/5- Appendix A and on ISDN (ITU G992. 1/3/5/ - appendix B
F@ST 2704N equipment include 4 ethernet interfaces LAN1 to  LAN4 1 ADSL interface and ne USD port.

That's a wireless router - so why do you need to connect with a cable on a laptop when they usually have wireless capability ?

If your wife isn't wired up then she must be connecting wirlessly.

Open a cmd prompt on her machine and enter ipconfig /all

It should produce something like mine where I just use wifi -

I sent you a reply before you did this message up and I was using the tablet and I guess it didn't post. I went to my computer, pulled the USB cable, went back to the wife's and it is working perfectly, I have no idea why I was using a USB cable other than I must be very stupid, a medication thing I doubt,  or just back from a medical thing, I honestly don't remember. Sorry to have you spend your time because seemingly I'm not to bright.
Thanks, I won't bother you unless it is a dire straight thing.

It isn't a problem - if you don't ask then you don't learn so don't be afraid to ask.

Those were some wise words from my recruitment sergeant that I never forgot.

Have you decided what you are going to do with the problematic machine yet ?

There's no point in installing anything onto a failing HDD.

Do another chkdsk c: /r and see if the KBs in bad sectors has increased - it was at 32 the last time which had increased from 24.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to and yes I will do another chkdsk and then whatever you suggest. I wish I could do a back-up but when I tried before it recognised the DVD drive but wouldn't back-up. Is there a way I can get into the repair menu with the option to back-up. Will the discs your are sending me have all the programs that were on the computer when I purchased it?
Talk at you later
