| 1158389 | 2010-12-03 04:45:00 | Hi guys, I'm running windows 7 ultimate. I recently used newsid.exe to change the system sid, not knowing what its purpose was, and what it would do (which was stupid of me, i agree). The result is that it has somewhat crashed my computer which i am VERY distressed about and windows will load but the logon screen does not show, instead a bsod displays and then windows restarts, and eventually leads to the repair window, but even windows restore cannot recognize the problem. I was hoping you guys would be able to help me, as you have done so nicely in the past. I've had all the problems posted here solved adequately. Is there a way to make a bootable version of newsid.exe? because i remember my old SID and hopefully inputting it will make my windows functional again . I'm VERY distressed about this issue as it just happened a day ago, any help would be greatly appreciated. ps- i don't wish to reinstall windows, that is a last resort for me. My computer was customized alot, and redoing that would be a huge pain in the butt. (This post form a pc world forum member and that thread is closed, and i did'nt understand, what did he do, and i am in that position, my documents folder and desktop folder showing ZERO bytes. if some one help me about that or that member ''h4rsheys'' can help. i dont know much about pc if you tell me solution step by step. thanks in advance.) kh.khanzada@gmail.com |

| 1158390 | 2010-12-03 04:59:00 | Will it boot into safe mode? Probably not a good idea posting your email here. Have a read of this (blogs.technet.com). Under SIDs | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1158391 | 2010-12-03 05:05:00 | That member re installed which will fix your problem. Other than that restore the backup you made before fiddling with the SID. You did make a backup I hope! |

| 1158393 | 2010-12-03 06:37:00 | newsid screws windows 7 full stop - no ifs but or maybe's. One thing you can try - it may work, is boot from your windows 7 DVD, and run the system restore. Full instructions here (www.sevenforums.com) method 2 - IF you are lucky it will fix it, if not -- could be a hard lesson learned I'm afraid. All of your stuff will be there, just hidden. |

| 1158396 | 2010-12-03 06:53:00 | Or take the hdd out, hook it up to another computer as a slave (or external, if you have an adapter), and copy off your data (or use something like Recuva (www.filehippo.com) if necessary); reinstall the drive in the original machine then do a repair or reinstall (is it a brand name machine (Dell etc) or not, if it is, it may have a recovery partition). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||

| 1158398 | 2010-12-03 06:59:00 | should i try f8 option at startup system repair You can try, but you need to run system restore-- its about the only hope . it may be better using your windows DVD or the recovery CD. Its either going to work, or it wont - as per the last square bullet point This article (www.migee.com) Notice the warning -- its there for a reason ;) I've tried it a couple of times - once it worked , two times it didn't -- BTW-- I was mucking about trying to bust the OS and then fix it, as I've had a couple of people run newsid and screw things up completely. |
