    Hi,

    If you don't have a backup, I'm afraid you need to reinstall the system.

    Please note there could be a risk to use some third-party tool or modifying registry to fix this.

    Regards,

    Re-installing the OS is not the only solution. This works 100%, tried and tested (no 3rd party tools involved).

    To fix this, you'll need the Windows 7 DVD. Use this DVD to boot from it and click on "System Repair" option that you see just before the installation starts. Follow the procedure described in the zip file that I have uploaded here for you: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=5b7a1e5ef7ab6d25#cid=5B7A1E5EF7AB6D25&id=5B7A1E5EF7AB6D25!113

    Please revert back here if you need any help. Hope this helps!

    Caution: Involves modifying the registry. Proceed only if you are familiar with the registry.
