darkviper7 said:you pop in a DVD from last week and you get all those options for restoration and other stuff—basically just like the "startup repair tool."
Look, I get what you're saying... but...
the startup repair tool just tells me "did not find any problem"🙄
And there isn't even an option to repair the installation
. It's just gone. All I have is the option to recover the system from some previously made image—which, obviously, I never actually made. My only choice is to just wipe the whole system and reinstall everything from scratch, which means losing absolutely everything I had installed. 🙂
I mean, it's not even a huge deal for me personally since I won't lose any data—I run a multiboot setup (Linux, Windows 10, and two versions of Windows XP) so I've already moved everything to a safe spot. But it's just unbelievable to me that I can't perform a repair that actually saves my stuff, like you could back in the XP days... it's just pointless. 👎
