General Windows. Tried rewriting it, and also one of the boot sector tools. DIdn't seem to make a difference. Been looking at some of the NTFS directory repair utilities, but not sure if they're appropriate. If I've further screwed any of it up with my playing, I'm hoping the image backup of the partition I made before I started is restorable.
Just for grins, I went into DIskGenius to see if I could restore the registry System file, and it scanned through most of the blocks before suddenly finding over deleted files and then sort of just hung back at the main screen with drive C; replaced by " Recovering FIles C: ". After an hour, I checked Process Explorer and it showed zero activity, so I exited. What order would you tackle something like this in?
And which are your favorite tools for it? In reply to Brooklyn32's post on July 26, It might be time for Windows 7 or Linux. In reply to Wunders's post on July 26, Well, I can easily restore the machine to as-factory-shipped. The recovery partition is still intact and functional, plus I actually made a recovery disk set when I got the machine in the first place. But, neither of those will let me "repair" the current installation, only overwrite it with a bunch of old, obsolete stuff.
I've already recovered several hundred of my data files. But, I have wizardly ambitions. I want to wave my magic wand and boot this machine back to life the way it was or as nearly possible to before it crashed. One thing you did not do is tell us what "crashed" means to you and what "eaten its System file" means. It doesn't make sense to start copying files around on a system with a corrupted file system. But, sometimes when Wunders suggests using the RRW first, it seems to work, but I would never start with that since if the file system is corrupted, things might get worse I think.
Wunders :- Wunders is a knowledgeable volunteer - no question about that, but now you have been running all these other tools that I have never used to fix the aforementioned problem. What happens when you try to boot now? Let chkdsk finish and correct any problems it might find. When the chkdsk runs clean, remove the CD and restart your system. I must say that I agree with ElderL at this point.
While we may have minor differences of opinion in order of approaches, they are both sound and based on probabilities of occurrence and effect. Your non-standard or infected MBR message would be hint enough to me to get a clean start with a reformat and restore to factory default followed by a restore from backup.
Your situation is at the point IMHO where you will find yourself spending an inordinate amount of time to find a "magic wand" and even if you find it, you still will be unsure that you wouldn't have a lingering root-kit or other infection on your machine. Restoring to factory default can be done in an hour or two and restoring files from backup and applying updates can be done in a day or two. So you could have been back to normal in the time that this thread has been lingering. For more information about System Recovery Options, see What are the system recovery options in Windows?
