wine users - Mar 2012 - I ruined windows

I am dual-booting windows and linux. I switched over almost entirely to linux. I
wanted to render a model I made in 3ds max, so I used mount --bind to use my
real C drive as my wine C drive. Unfortunately, that ruined windows. I
eventually got the model to render in blender, but I still want windows to work.
How can I fix windows?

boot from cd and select fix

I guess you didn't read the FAQ:

Basically, you're screwed and should reinstall windows.

The part about pointing to your actual C drive is new (I looked yesterday). They
should have it detect whether it's the actual c drive (check for non-wine
system files, such as ntdetect.com) and warn you.

I have another windows system. I just need to know which critical parts to
replace. They should have a page on repairing windows if you used your actual C
drive.

It says it requires a reinstall. Copying files from an existing windows
installation is like a partial reinstall.
