Hi,
I seem to be going round in circles unable to repair a Windows Pro install.
SFC finds corruption but can't fix the problem.
Mr Fixit Portable finds problems but can't fix them
So I try a repair install (AKA Upgrade?)...
It runs fine, no compatibility issues, no errors, all looks good, only at the point of finalising the install, it pops up a message "Windows setup could not configure to run on this computer's hardware".
What is it talking about? it came with Windows 7, it's ran windows 7 for years.
The computer then reboots and rolls back the entire install/upgrade.
I have tried c:\windows\system32\oobe\Msoobe , but that only appears to work, but when you reboot, the rollback just runs again.
How can I fix this install without wiping the HDD?
Thanks,
