Windows seven missing operating system

The life expectancy of a hard drive in a desktop is about 7 years. A few can last longer, but yours is past 10 years now. It is highly likely that hard drive is failing and has lots of corrupted files by now.

Run all three tests. A re-install will bring new life to that desktop. They are pretty standard and any make will fit. The hardware change is easy. After you do that, you need to re-install Windows and then do the Windows Updates needed to bring your system up to date. You will also need to re-install all your programs. Make sure to do a complete backup on to a reliable external hard drive first. A local shop can do this for you for several hundred dollars, but you can save a lot doing it yourself and it is far more likely the result will be satisfactory.

Local shops mess up a lot. If you want some detailed instructions on how to do it, I will provide them. The task will take about 12 hours elapsed time. Your printer may be wireless, but this computer has no wireless capability. You need to connect it to the router, then all computers that are allowed on the network can access it. Thank you. You've given me a lot to think about and how to proceed. First, I'm returning the wireless printer which is of no use to me since I'm unable to install it properly.

Use a System Repair disk must be the right bitness 32 or 64 to boot the computer. If you do not have one, find another computer with the right bitness and make one. Just need a blank CD. Quick and easy. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I'm getting real desperate. I am first worried that you are not starting your computer on that repair disk.

You must start pressing the F12 key about once a second as soon as the computer starts. I have also verified with A02 Bios update. Since there is a lot of talk regarding AF drives, i had to make sure that everything related to software is in place. Also, Pointsec 6. Marked as answer by kantzy Tuesday, September 6, PM.
