It includes an older version of Windows 7. I meant I can't exactly copy the drive in the faulty system; I'd need to link it to another functioning computer.

You could recreate Clonezilla using a live USB drive. Just stick with what feels safe for you.

Alright, once you decide then it’s just a matter of finding the right repair option. You’re not sure what to do, that’s okay.

CloneZilla is a live USB system designed to assist in duplicating your operating system across various storage devices. It's particularly useful when someone has an SSD but still uses a Windows installation on their older HDD. The tool encourages creating a backup of your OS to safely test files without any danger.

Stay cool and then proceed with addressing your broken OS.

I really don't want to rebuild my site again... there should be a solution.

Have you attempted a live USB or CD when the operating system failed, and did you extract the necessary files to possibly restart and then install the disk?

Start the LiveDisk, set up the filesystem, and pull the data you require. Then simply reinstall the operating system if needed. Windows likely won’t handle the filesystem properly, making a LiveDisk for Ubuntu or similar ideal. By the way, using a LiveDisk lets you jump into chroot mode and try various repair methods. I’d recommend just fetching your files and installing fresh.

P.S. Keeping /home and / on separate partitions is a good practice—this way your system can fail while keeping important files safe on /home.
