I created the boot cd, but while it is trying to load the Reatogo desktop, it give me a blue screen, i’ve tried it with 7 of the computers. I then restart the computer without the cd in, and it gives me the same error. What else can i try?

What must i load onto the flashdrive with Rufus?

system · 2015-11-26T05:44:18.000Z

Okay, so i used Rufus and i loaded the FRST.exe onto the flashdrive, i then rebooted the computer, which then booted into the FreeDOS kernel, i then typed in the command “FRST.exe” and pressed enter, it then said that “This program cannot be run in DOS mode”.

What should i do now?

You need to create a bootable usb stick with Rufes that boots Windows.

system · 2015-11-26T10:05:50.000Z

So if i create it so that it boots windows, won’t i lose all the data on the computer?

Eddy · 2015-11-26T10:27:51.000Z

No, you need to create the usb stick so that a windows environment is loaded.

system · 2015-11-26T11:24:30.000Z

How would i do that?

Download the following three programmes to your desktop :

Rufus

For 32bit systems
2. Windows 7 RC… I will PM the download link
3. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Essexboy i cannot post the frst.txt on a reply, because it exceeds 20 000 characters, is there another way i can get it to you?

system · 2015-11-30T06:10:14.000Z

Sorry, i didn’t see the Attachments and other options selection

essexboy · 2015-11-30T14:44:06.000Z

OK you have two files missing… One I can replace with FRST but the other unfortunately will require a repair install http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\volsnap.sys IS MISSING <==== ATTENTION C:\Windows\system32\codeintegrity\Bootcat.cache IS MISSING <==== ATTENTION

system · 2015-12-01T05:37:18.000Z

How would i do that with FRST?

Eddy · 2015-12-01T08:38:18.000Z

Just do the in-place-repair as explained on the sevenforums.

system · 2015-12-01T17:56:48.000Z

Could i not possibly copy those two files from one of the working computers and then just them onto a broken computer using the copy command on cmd prompt?

essexboy · 2015-12-01T21:21:07.000Z

No, because this one is created by the system and is specific to it

C:\Windows\system32\codeintegrity\Bootcat.cache IS MISSING <==== ATTENTION
