Re-install Windows is the only way that usually will work because most files include registry entries, unless you known how to manually register each single file it is hopeless.

How did those important files get deleted in the first place?

Thanks. :D

you could use a Linux boot cd to mount windows and put the files there and see what happens ?

All Windows is different depending on many factors:

1. OEM Windows will have different files depending on the brand.
2. Installed drivers, software, security products, etc.

You just can not take another system or Windows disk copy the files and hope they will work because it will not.

Did you happened to have dual-boot on your system (Two operating systems installed)?
If only way that I know that these boot files could have got deleted is using a custom boot loader.
Unless it was Gdata with a bad update.

You could try to use your Windows disk to fix boot problems- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/how-do-i-fix-a-boot-startup-problem Never know it might work.

Enjoy!! :D

what is the point to know which files is used to boot if after your system crashes because your registry and other system files don't correspond with it.

just tell me the folders that windows uses to boot

Did you even read my previous post?

All Windows are different, none are the same. Do you understand now??

It is impossible to copy all correct files to the locations and then manually create registry entries for each file even if you did know what files are needed and nobody will be able to tell you since every system is different.

Use your Windows disk and try to fix system boot from the link I posted if that doesn't work then you have no other option then to reinstall Windows.

Enjoy!! :D

/Boot folder, /windows/boot folder, Bootmgr file, and many others all interdependent. not saying that the boot partition should be present and intactt, etc...

good luck for this quasi-impossible task
