As soon as you select Automated Repair and then press “Continue,” EasyRE will begin scanning your hard disks for Windows installations. This may take some time depending on the size of your disks and the number of installations EasyRE finds:

Step 2: Select an Installation to Repair
Once EasyRE has found and listed all of the operating systems on your PC, you should select the partition that contains the OS you’re trying to repair. EasyRE supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (all editions, all languages). If you don’t see your installation listed in the results, either your hard disk is disconnected or has been corrupted, in which case you should try using testdisk to recover your partitions and restart your PC before searching for installations once more.

You’ll be taken to a progress dialog screen that shows you what actions EasyRE is doing and may list potential issues as EasyRE finds and addresses problems with your PC.
