Hi! Your best protection for any disaster is a clean image of your OS. Windows has a feature that will create a image of your OS and it's so simple to use that you don't have a excuse not to use this feature.
If you do use this feature,you will need a way to get to it. Most of the time you can get access by booting into safe mode and clicking on repair.
My PC does not have the feature that allows you to get to the recovery mode and so I have to use the system repair disk. A system repair disc is different than a system restore disc. I'm going to copy from others because I don't always have the best explanation of what I want to !say.
Once you have created a system repair disc, you will be able to boot to the rescue mode. The rescue mode has several ways to help you repair your OS. It also includes a way for you to access the back up image that you created.

If Windows 7 won't start or starts with significant problems, you may need to use the System Repair Disc to fix problems with Windows 7. The System Repair Disc is designed to let you boot up Windows — even if nothing else works — and provides you with several options for repairing your failing system.
You need to create the system repair disc. If you don’t create one, you limit your recovery options. The system repair disc is not the same thing as the recovery disc that came with your computer. It won’t reinstall Windows 7 and it won’t reformat your computer. It's simply a gateway to Windows' built-in recovery tools.
