I can't get windows 7 to start - and it instant bluescreens before going to a black screen with startup repair options. Now copy the five files inside "Config\Regback" folder (DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SYSTEM and SOFTWARE) and paste them to "Config" folder (Confirm overwriting ).Unfortunately, I'm having problems with my new comp. What you need to do is to find Windows drive (The one with "Windows" and "Users" folders in it - Usually D in recovery console) and navigate to "Windows\System32\Config" folder.Ĭreate a new folder named "MyBackup" and copy the contents of "config" folder to it as a backup insurance. Read the below guide to know how to use GUI copy and paste functions in recovery prompt. If it is difficult for you to navigate through command line there is an easy way using GUI. So in the step 10 you could try "CD /d D:\Windows\System32\Config" and follow the directions. In most cases your C drive may assigned letter D in Windows recovery command prompt (The hidden 100MB partition should be the C).

The "file not found" error is due to you are using wrong drive letter. I guess you are not familiar with DOS commands.

I held down the power button to reboot and since then I have been unable to get to the login screen. My desktop was showing fine and then all of a sudden the screen went black, but the computer was still on. Hi, I opened my computer yesterday and logged in as usual.
