    That is easy Save the BF3 folder somewhere you are sure it is safe there

    Re-install your OS

    install origin put bf3 back and you will see it ready to download 

    press on it then its is ready to install in the same sec 

    if it downloads some files it wont be big sometimes the game is corrupted and origin  downloads the fix

Ok it is "installing now" so I will reply again when if it works. Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: Worked flawlessly. Thanks so much. Saved me the trouble of downloading 20gb again. Cheers!
