REPAIR INSTALLATION
You will need all your software media, Windows Vista disk and backup of your data to perform either one of the installation.
HOW TO PERFORM AN INPLACE UPGRADE OR REPAIR INSTALLATION
If you have the Windows Vista DVD, you can attempt a Inplace Upgrade (Repair) on Vista - this will not work if all you have is a Windows Recovery DVD.
If you do not have the Windows Vista DVD and only have the Recovery Media, do you know someone who has the exact same Version of Vista as you that has the Vista DVD? If so, borrow their DVD but do 'not' use their Product key, use yours if asked for a product key. If you do not have or cannot get a Vista DVD, the steps below will not work with the Recovery media and you may be forced to do a Clean install.
Repair Installation:
You may reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings, and programs by performing a repair installation or an in-place upgrade with the following steps: (Note: This does not always resolve all issues, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you might need to do a clean installation if this is unsuccessful.)
