Repair Windows 7
My OS seems to be corrupted and I would like to repair it. I am thinking about doing a clean install of the OS and I'm not sure about the procedures.
I have a backup of my c: drive with the OS and I'm not sure about the procedures to load my current software on top of the clean install of the OS.
I think that the procedure is to use Acronis Universal Recovery, but I'm not sure.
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks, in advance.

Thanks Steve:
I have backups, of my OS drive but I think that my backups include corrupted files and drivers. I was thinking that a clean install would help me correct some of them.
I've never used ATI Universal Restore before but I thought I had seen a guide where it was used to help clean up a corrupted OS drive. I thought that the process was to do a clean install and use the drive backup to reload the programs using ATI Universal Restore. But, I could be mistaken.
I've recovered using my ATI backup, but my OS is unstable (I keep getting BSOD frequently). That's why I'm considering a clean install process.
I would also like to use a clean install to make a new Windows 7 Repair Disk, since my current disk doesn't seem to work.
Cheers,
Bruce

Assuming you have a Windows 7 install disk you can perform a Repair install or In Place Upgrade as it is called to clear up most BSOD problems. Look HERE
If you do not have an install disk then head over to the Digital River site and download their Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool HERE
Next use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to burn the ISO file to a USB flash drive to use for the repair. Look HERE
