My 500gb partion drive with windows 7 is pretty fcked up. Whenever i tried to log in it goes to temp profile.
I have tried lot of things like editing registry for my profile but no use.
I tried to install windows 7 on it again using upgrade option but it says my files are on different partion even though its on same partiton and i cannot install windows also. Also in temp profile none of stuff like cmd,msconfig,internet etc work

There is lot of data on drive i dont wana loose it

Anyway to install new windows and still have it work as my old windows. I mean all programs and stuff should be there, i dont wana reinstall everything again..

In short : No.

What you can do is run Ubuntu from live media & recover all your documents and other files. After that you should try reinstalling Windows.

Also, tried this already right? *support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/947242
