I have been dual booting for about 6 months now with no problems.I installed XP first and then Windows7.When I boot the computer it goes to Windows7.It gives me the option on the screen to choose other operating system which I do.All of a sudden I can't get into XP,it just stays a black screen.So I booted back to 7 and checked the boot menu and only Windows7 is listed,don't know why,it was working fine till now.Is there anyplace on the computer where I can get my original boot menu back.

While trying to restore all the original files using SFC, I just encountered this error: SFC /scannow Found but could not fix some Corrupt files. I am trying to restore all my default files from theme modifications. I restored already all the back up files that was used by the theme patcher all the .dll's and .cpl etc. Then I run SFC just to make sure everything was restored, then that error occurs.
I accidentally changed all of my my icon settings to Adobe Programs. So when ever i try opening say 'Google chrome' icon, it 'opens with' an Adobe program page. So how do i change the icons back to their original settings? so one they have their original icon (the Google chrome icon instead of the Adobe icon) and they open in their original program.

I can't get into pc recovery drive (D) to restore pc to original condition in two pcs. I think it is because I reinstalled Windows 7 into drive (C), which prevents pc recovery from drive (D) [because it's not the original software.I can see the recovery drive (D).Also, I used SpotMau to get the windows 7 Ultimate product key, but the lable on the pc shows that Windows7 Pro is installed.The product keys are different.
I have recently downloaded the windows theme installer and installed a new theme in my computer. After changing to the new theme and wanted to return my window theme to the original windows 7 theme, I was unable to do so.Even when I used the restore to original system file button in the window installer theme.
Backup and restore does not work because it points to my external J drive where my last backup was taken. However, Windows has assigned my external drive to K and is treating as one of my fixed drives whenever connected.
I recently installed some updates in my Proline notebook, but after installing the 30 percent, it failed to restart, with the screen showing nothing (as if it's off). I then tried to restore it to an earlier time via safe mode but the restore point available is only the one as at the time of the update. I tried to create a restore point, but when i tried, i cannot even find system protection when i looked for it and it directs me to system properties where my computer's description is blank and it cannot be edited.Even the updates cannot be uninstalled via safe mode.Is there no other options i can try in order to start my laptop normally again?
