Repair/reinstall a not loadable windows 7 and keeping info

0

In my old laptop i had windows7 updated, and i decided to replace the old haddrive by a SSD drive.

With a linux gparted I moved the partition from physical disk to SSD. Booting from SSD windows is recognized and it start loading but it fails quickly and shows the Error 0xc000000e

Windows Boot Manager

Windows failed to start.... 1 Insert your windows installation... ....

See image enter image description here

I only want to update/reinstall some file over the previous ones, but without removing content. But booting with a windows7 32bit installation from USB:

  • The repair didn't fix, probably MBR and boot conf must be good.
  • Update requires to be launched from a loaded windows.
  • Install says that previous data will be moved to a folder called old.windows

None of the options solve the problem, and i remember fixing windows XP in the past without losing data.
