Startup Repair
Startup problems can be dif cult to troubleshoot, because if you can’t start the operating system you
can’t use the built-in troubleshooting tools. In the past, you or your support professionals may have
found it easier to reinstall your operating system than troubleshoot, even though the solution may be as
simple as replacing a single le. And although Windows Vista provides an automated Startup Repair tool
to diagnose and recover unbootable systems, the tool requires extra steps if the operating system is on
a different partition.
Windows 7 automatically installs the Startup Repair tool onto the operating system partition, so you’ll
always have access to it. After an unsuccessful boot, Windows 7 automatically loads Startup Repair, which
scans your PC for issues (such as corrupt registry and system les or an invalid Boot Con guration Data-
base), automatically repairs les when possible, and then reboots as normal.
