Update - I have now restored both the System reserved and C partitions, so Windows 7 is back up and running on my HDD. I am trying to restore the image of the HDD I created yesterday with Macrium Reflect free using the Macrium Reflect Rescue Media. I burned the Windows 10 ISO using cdburnerxp, not directly with Windows 7. But when it came to the 'preparing the installation files' it reached 92% at this stage and after while an error message appeared saying that the files were corrupt or missing that and the installation couldn't continue. (Custom install) I deleted (NOT FORMATTED) the System reserved and C (Windows) partitions and left the D (Data) partition alone and clicked Next with the unallocated space highlighted. My Windows 7 Professional product key was accepted.The setup began. I booted the Windows 10 image that I created using the 'creation tool' using F8 to boot from the DVD.
