Windows 10: Can You Overwrite the Corrupted Files Using the USB Installer and Not Lose Any Data?

Hello Windows friends, can you boot to the Windows USB installer of the same build and overwrite just the corrupted Windows 11 files without losing any data?I've tried DISM and SFC using the USsB Windows installer but it can't repair the Windows it does boot but some .exe don't work, msconfig won't launch and 'Properties' won't appear when I right click.Thank you God bless Windows experts.

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.

 

losing data on usb

Questions

Hello I am experiencing intermittent loss of word files on my USB

I presume it is virus related.

What symptoms do my computers have?

They are a succession of laptops they were loaded with XP but had probs so I installed windows 7… I bought the copy of 7 at a garage sale and installed it on four laptops.

Well the symptoms the computers have is that they will not retain the proper date and time.

There is no loss of data or access to files on the laptops but occasionally I will lose data on the USB drive.

Occasionally I will be using the usb in any of the four computers

and occasionally it says the usb needs scanning

then occasionally I put the usb in a machine and it comes up loss reading drive f:


and I end up going to a back up usb with data loss of recent work.

Well is there any suggestions about what could be the probs?

Is the data loss on usb related to the probs that computers have retaining correct time

How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.
