Normally, when Starting Windows (7) and Pressing F8 there comes a menu where is something like:
Start in Safe Mode
Safe mode with command prompt
...
System Repair
The System Repair is not available on my Win 7 X64 Pro. How do I get it back?
I have System Check Points disabled, is it because of this?
I believe you're looking for "Repair Your Computer", and that only exists if the Windows Recovery Environment (or perhaps an OEM recovery system replacement) was included during the initial install of Windows.
From Microsoft:
Shows a list of system recovery tools you can use to repair startup problems, run diagnostics, or restore your system. This option is available only if the tools are installed on your computer's hard disk. If you have a Windows installation disc, the system recovery tools are located on that disc.
More info on SU: How do you recreate the System Recovery environment in Windows 7?
Perhaps check out this MSDN Blog: How to install Windows RE on the hard disk.
Alternatively, to access the tools, make a "System Repair Disk" or boot from your Windows 7 install media.
Yes, these options allow you to go back to a previous system restore point. If you have disabled System Restore points, you will not be able to restore to a last known configuration or earlier restore point either, and thus these options are missing.
