My new book Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out from Microsoft Press goes on sale by the beginning of November and, yes, it’s been written by one of the staff writers here at gHacks.net!
You can pre-order it here and from Amazon and it will be available from online retailers and all good bookshops. Now as an exclusive I’m giving away a free chapter from the book, so you can see what to expect when it’s released.
The book is 526 pages and 27 chapters including everything from preventing problems from occurring in the first instance to identifying and fixing problems with Windows, your software, drivers and even the hardware inside your PC.
Chapter 16 “Windows Problems Demystified” covers what Windows 7 really is and talks about the core file types that make up the OS. It talks you through how you can perform advanced file restore to repair the operating system and about the useful System File Checker that can use to check your copy of Windows 7 against the original install files from your installation DVD, and repair any files that have become corrupt, damaged or deleted.
Finally the chapter talks you through the process of creating a slipstreamed installation DVD, ready for the release of Service Pack 1. This will enable you to install Windows 7 with SP1 already installed, and it will be essential for the system file checker to work once SP1 is installed on your computer.
You can download the free chapter HERE. My “Windows 7 Power Users Guide” is still available to buy in paperback and as an eBook here.
