Repair Install

[Guest]

I have one PC that suddenly rebooted and came up with an error that it
couldn't find a system file. I tried MS's fix for it, but that didn't help.

I've attempted to do a repair install, but can't figure it out. I've done
it before on another PC without any problems, but this time it appears that
it wants me to either delete the existing partition (windows directory) or
install over it which states it will delete everything on the drive anyways.

How exactly do I do the repair install to see if this fixes the problem?

If the option isn't present then you might not be able to run a Repair
Install and may have to run a clean install. Is there important data that
you have to retrieve from the system?
