I own an HP G-62 laptop. My Windows 7 OS is on the Recovery partition, D. I have no Win 7 Disks.
I am wanting to perform a non destructive repair of the system files without losing my data or having to go through the whole routine of reinstalling Windows, Programs, Files, Pics, Music, etc...
Can I perform a Repair on my main, C, drive without the disks, and from the partition? So far all the help I have found refers to using the original Win & OS disks....
Thanks,

I had come across doing that but couldn't find info on whether it would perform the "non-destructive" option saving my current data. I just need to repair some corrupted files in the system the easiest way... avoiding the rebuilding of the laptop... Thanks for your help... – Mike – 2012-04-08T18:21:53.340
if you choose the Repair option, it is non-destructive. Of course, ALWAYS backup your data first before doing anything. – caliban – 2012-04-09T01:57:53.123
If your Windows is non-operational right now, take out the hard disk and plug it into a USB enclosure to access the data. – caliban – 2012-04-09T01:58:25.870
