The utilities I'm referring to are the programs that are contained in the media you're using (the one you found), such as BCDBOOT, FIXBOOT, FIXMBR, DiskPart and so on.

The Windows media you are using, the one you 'found' is not compatible with the version of Windows 7 that you're trying to repair. If we somehow fail to resolve your problem satisfactorily, then you will be free to seek help from wherever you like. May I suggest exclusively following the advice offered here and not from multiple other sources (via Google) because we have no idea what else you're trying from other sources, plus you may end up getting incorrect information and damaging the installation beyond recovery. I know you are no expert, hence the reason why you need to heed advice from more experienced people. Startup repair uses a bunch of utilities and processes to try and fix the booting problem.īy insisting that the media is (compatible) of the same Windows version as the installation on the SSD, and trying to use it even though the recovery environment itself says it isn't compatible, that would be trying to force compatibility, and things can go from bad to worse if you decide against wise judgement to run incompatible utilities.

I have no idea where that media came from, but it's illogical to assume that it is the same version of Windows as the one on the SSD just because it's the only one you've found, especially since you do not know how Windows was installed in the first place.īy 'same utilities i have in mind', I mean't the programs that automatic startup repair will try to use to repair your non-booting installation.
