Hi
I'll cut a long story as short as possible.
I was running a digital audio workstation with Windows 7 and decided to install Windows 8 on the same hard drive.
After about a week of tediously installing about a million programs and plugins and satisfying myself that everything worked, I wanted to remove the old version of Windows 7.
Not sure of myself I asked my brother who told me simply to "just.delete the ' Windows.old ' folder"
So I did but, apparently, I should have known to use the disk clean-up utility. My brother says he was stressed out at the time or he would have warned me.
Anyway, I restarted.Windows a while ago and was confronted by the message "disk read error".
Obviously my boot sequence is still looking for the Windows.old folder.
I really do not want to reinstall Windows, and presumably all my applications, so could somebody please give me some alternatives?
Kind rewards
