My friends computer is saying something like system 32 is damaged. I tried to see if there was anyway to start it up around that and it is not responsive. Is there anything I can help him do to fix it?
system 32 damaged |
Try to boot in Safe Mode if you can.
Open an elevated command prompt (with Admin Rights) and enter the following command : Code sfc /scannowTell us what it returns. Fiat justitia ruat cælum

Is there anything I can help him do to fix it? Worse case scenario, if windows sfc does not work as aura has demonstrated above, follow the rest of my instructions to get it working again. If system 32 is damaged, I suggested she might have to perform an in-place upgrade with the Windows operating system. To do this you will need to have a blank DVD with at least 5 GB or USB with at least 5 GB blank too. This is Windows 7, Alan and ISO from here: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official...ads.12325/ Check whether or not the addition of Windows 7 is 32 or 64-bit and download the appropriate language for the computer. Burn the ISO to a blank DVD with at least 5 GB. For our USB drive with at least 5 GB by using the tutorial I have below, follow its instructions to have his computer operating again. https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4126239 (Apr 18, 2014 05:26 PM)Aura Wrote: Try to boot in Safe Mode if you can.

Well there's way more than browsing the web and not downloading anything suspicious there, I can tell you that lol. When you try to boot the computer, what happens ? Fiat justitia ruat cælum

I feel like their was some sort of troll involved that gained access to the computer in a vulnerable state and decided to see what was all the rave about deleting System32 hahaha.

The first thing I asked him was if he downloaded anything. I'm sure he tried to download movies, games or music and downloaded an infected file and he infected himself. BMX, if you can get the computer up and running, Safe Mode or not, I can log in via Teamviewer and assist your friend remotely. So what happens when you try to boot the computer ?

I am currently not at the friends house, but I will be later. I literally tried running it anyway I could and it just wouldn't do it for me. I is a really nice laptop too, so I hope I can fix it for him. (Apr 18, 2014 05:43 PM)FeaturedBMX Wrote: I am currently not at the friends house, but I will be later.
