Went into the Windows 7 control panel to make a 'system repair disk' (boot disk), just in case I ever needed it. Making the disk went OK, with Windows 7 telling me it had successfully finished, and to label the CD.
I then put the boot CD into my DVD drive to make sure it worked OK. Computer boots from the CD and Windows 7 says it has started loading files. Then the pretty blue background screen started (just like the one in the F8 repair console), and then there was a long pause and then I get the error code shown on the photo below. Clicking OK reboots the computer, and no repair options ever load.
I made two separate boot disks to rule out a bad CD, but still get the same error #
This is a brand new Dell computer, both DVD drives work fine, and burn CDs without problems.
I just tried sfc/scannow and I got the following message: There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Restart windows and try sfc again.I'm thinking this repair pending is from the chldsk/r I completed previously. This is great, except when I reboot, the repair does not startup and the system just goes back to the Windows Error Recovery screen I had earlier. How do I get the repair to complete?
We just acquired a new laptop with Win7 HP preloaded. One of the first things I did was try to make a System Repair CD (Start/All Programs/Maintenance/Create a System Repair Disc). The CD burning process seemed to go normally. When I tried to run the disc, it seemed to load normally until it got to a screen with the "streaks in the sky" wallpaper and then it stopped. There were no menus, messages, or anything except the wallpaper. I made two discs using a name brand with the same result. I know disc quality used to be an issue but I didn't think this was so these days among the name brands.
Today I booted up my computer and got a screen saying something went seriously wrong with my computer and that I should repair it from an installation disk. I load up windows onto a USB, boot it and click the repair option. It's been about half an hour and nothing has shown up. Is it still loading or perhaps something is very wrong with my PC?
yesterday i was watching a show on my computer (sony vaio) and it kept freezing and lagging and wouldn't restart so i manually restarted it. when i tried to turn it on it would say "starting up windows" but it would take to long and it would restart again with error repair. when i would load error repair it would say it's loading files but only a background screen would show and no files.
I edited a 2 minute piece on AVID Express Pro. Downloaded the piece to a Sn Disc and took it to another PV that runs Windows &...I've tried to upload the video to You Tube and get the "no disc" error. The computer that I used to create the video is operated by Windows XP.
I dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.
I'm writing about my brother's Samsung R780 laptop (running Windows 7 64 bit), which recently stopped working. When he starts the computer, he gets the following error: "Windows Error Recovery." Searching around online led us to create a system repair disk on my laptop (which also runs Windows 7). When we boot with the disk in the drive, a prompt asking for our language (which is greyed out so we can't change it) and our keyboard (which we can change) appears. Without changing the keyboard option, we press 'next' and then it freezes. We've also tried the 'repair your computer' option in the Advanced Boot Options, but it also freezes.
Created it with no problems, apparently at least. My BIOS is set to boot from CD drive, so why won't my machine boot from the system repair disk? There were no errors when disk was created. My machine just boots to windows.
Anyone else experience this with Win 7 Professional?
After I got my new laptop, I installed antivirus, windows updates, etc, removed bloatware and installed the software that I actually use. Then I created my System Repair disk (single disk). Does this disk include all software and windows updates that were on my computer at the time I created the disk? I have read that System Repair disks will only have the factory settings of Windows 7, but I don't know if this is the case for all System Repair disks or only those that came with the computer and were made before the computer was purchased?I've also read that a System Repair disk could include a system image. Is this true and done by default when the System Repair disk is created?
lenovo laptop.. shows fatal error then it hangs... now it did not pass the loading. windows loadinng.. i try to repair using win7 ,, but it doesnt load anymore..
I installed some software yesterday on my other PC and it seemed to cause some problems with another application so I uninstalled it via Remove Programs. On restart Windows 7 (Home Premium 64 bit) failed to start and all I got was a BSOD with the main error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. After unsuccessfully trying to start in Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration I thought I'd try to repair the W7 installation using the W7 disc. (BTW - I don't know of any other options in W7 but would be grateful for any advice on that.) After powering up I pressed F12 to get a menu up and selected the option 'Boot from CDROM'. It seemed to be doing this and I got the message 'Windows is Loading Files'. I expected at that stage to be presented with an 'install or repair W7' option screen from the disc, like in XP. However, all that happened is that the OS proceeded to try and load, unsuccessfully, and went back to the BSOD. How do I get the disc to try and repair the install, or, if it comes to it, reinstall W7? I can't see those options. Do I need to amend the BIOS or something? (In the meantime I have put the disc in and chosen to run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool (extended option) in the hope of finding the problem. This has been stuck at 21% for about an hour.) PS - I don't know which details are relevant but motherboard on that PC is Gigabyte P67A-UD7, processor is Intel 2600k, with 8GB of RAM. It is not connected to the internet.
I have a Sony Viao with Win 7 Home Premium and I just deleted some form of Trojan with MS Security Essentials and then I ran windows updates before I restarted the machine. Windows update installed some security updates along with Service pack 1 and IE9. Now the computer will not load Windows. It goes straight to the startup repair but cannot fix the problem. There is not restore points other that when SP1 was installed and I gives an error every time I try to restore it. I can get to a command prompt and I have tried to run sfc /scannow but it tells me there is a system repair pending which requires a reboot and then does nothing. I also tried check disk(just as a last chance) but that didn't do anything.
Dell laptop bought 8 months ago. My son said it started running real slow now windows won't load at all. Goes to start up repair I tried all the options and it didn't work:
Problem Error Name Startup Repair Problem Signature 1: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 2: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 3: unknown Problem Signature 4: 371 Problem Signature 5: Auto Failover Problem Signature 6: 1 Problem Signature 7: failure during setup OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.2561 Local ID: 1033
After running setup repair it said Root cause found. Failure while setup is in progress.
I'm trying to get my nephew's laptop (acer aspire 5749) to boot up (apparently battery ran out during shutdown and not worked since) - on power up it gives the option to repair or start as normal. Repair takes you (eventually) to a grey screen with wavy ribbons at the top, a moveable mouse cursor but nothing else happens (even after leaving it for 24 hours). "Start windows normally" takes you to the loading windows screen, then it reboots itself (and the repair options come up again...).
Have booted with a windows repair cd but the same grey screen/wavy ribbons thing happens again and nothing happens (even after leaving it 24 hours).
Booting into safe mode gives no joy either and stops the boot up process during the drivers loading up. It used to stop at one of the AVG drivers so I used the AVG repair utility (midnight commander) to rename all the AVG stuff but then it just stops at another driver instead (now it stops at classpnp.sys).
I've done the memory check on the AVG disk which passes fine so I'm guessing I need to run some checks on the hard disk itself. I've just downloaded the Ultimate Boot CD ( Ultimate Boot CD - Overview ) but don't know which of the utilities you'd recommend I try first?
I have put the d drive at the top of the list in the boot set up, but the system repair disc doesn't show up and I just get a blank screen. When I open safe mode, some windows files load up and the safe mode screen opens but not with a way to start up windows. Safe mode with networking or command prompt doesn't work either.
I've recently been having trouble with my computer. I turned it off one day, and when I tried to turn it back on the computer would never start. It would say loading windows, and it had the windows logo and everything, but then it would just stop. I tried to go through safe mode but that wouldn't load either. So I tried using my repair disks, but the repair disks won't load up either. I went into BIOS and made it so it would boot from the CD first, but... nothing. It just goes to this grey screen with that sweepy background graphic you get when you first get windows, and does nothing.I have a laptop, Windows 7 64 bit.
I have an acer aspire 5742 laptop. I was running windows 7. I do not have a disc as it was already loaded onto laptop that was a gift. Machine was running ok, it would overheat from time to time as i think the battery was on its way out, anyway thats not the problem. 2 days ago it switched itself off, when i tried to reboot i got a screen saying windows failed to start with options to -launch startup repair or - start windows normally. when i choose start startup repair it says in grey at bottom of screen loading windows files then it goes to a black screen and freezes. If i choose start windows normally it says starting windows and logo appears, then it just crashes.
I tried turning on my computer today and it gets stuck at the "Starting Windows" logo. It just hangs there indefinitely (usually only takes a couple seconds) and doesn't load. I then tried startup repair, and that just takes me to a black screen. After that, I tried putting in my Windows 7 boot disc to do a clean install, told the BIOS to boot to CD/DVD drive. It tells me to press a key, I do. I get "Windows is loading files" and then it goes back to "Starting Windows" forever, yet again. This happened so suddenly, it was working fine just hours before this.
After doing an alleged successful system restore (from restore point 3 days prior) when I try to access the CP or My Computer I get message saying Windows cannot access specified device, path or file, You may not have access permission. (I am the sole user & Administrator)
I deleted my windows partition today because I got a virus in windows. Now I cant load any operating system. I have tried to reinstall windows 7 and xp from cd and usb stick I reset my bios to fail safe mode and still cant load any thing. I have the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 mo board and sandy bridge processor. I have the bios set to load from 1usb fdd 2 cd.
i recently got a computer from my aunt, and decided to put windows 7 on it. Before I installed it, I put in a Geforce 8800 graphics card and a (2nd) cd rom drive. After 20 failed attempts to install windows 7 (it kept freezing at the completing installation part) it worked after i disconnected the new graphics card and one of the hard drives. Now, however, i keep on getting periodic blue screens with the following error messages : Memory Management, and PFN_List Corrupt. I ran a memory diagnostic and it said that the memory is fine. What is wrong with my computer? I also ran a system repair thing from the windows 7 disk, and it came up with this error: System File Integrity Check and Repair Error Code 0X490
My Hardware is:
AMD Anthlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 2 Hitachi HDT725032VLA SCSI 320 gb hard drives Nvidia Geforce 8800 GS Graphics Card 3gb of system memory
I am now trying to use another persons windows 7 home premium disk to reinstall my operating system because my computer only came with a partition devoted to windows 7 installation and has errors which must be the reason that my sfc /scannow has never worked.Now my question is this. This disk from a friend of mine is probably pirated as it is just a silver verbatim dvd that has windows 7 home premium written in blue highlighter.What I want to know is will this override my real version of windows that came with my pc
today i found that my windows 7 64 bit ultimate os was unable to boot.after many restart finally i used my system repair disk. disk did work and i m able to boot nowbut can anyone give me some insight about what went wrong in the first place. just dont want this type of problem in the future.
know if it is possible to get a general OEM repair disk for windows XP, Vista and 7, so one that will work with all OEM's? Also if such a thing does exist where I can get one?
I did a search in the Windows 7 forum for system repair disc and got no hits so here I am asking.I have only Windows 7 32-bit installed here so I don't have a 64-bit system with which to create a system repair disk. I do have a Windows 7 Ultimate setup disk. How can I make a Windows 7 64-bit repair disk?
I have a Dell notebook wiht Windows 7 64-bit that is getting a BSOD (0xF4) and I'm fairly certain is was caused by a rootkit, although I'm not 100% certain. One debugger shows wininit.exe as the culprit and another shows the kernel itself. At any rate, the system will not boot. It gets to where the login dialog is about to show and gets the BSOD. It will not boot in safemode either.Anyway, I've tested the hard drive and memory and I'm fairly certain that it is corrupted and/or rootkit files that is the problem. So I've booted to a Windows 7 repair disk and ran SFC and it tells me that files are corrupted and it can't fix them.Normally I would check the CBS.log file to see what's up, but I'm not sure where the log file is when running SFC from the repair disk. I've searched the "X" drive and the "C" drive, but there's no log files.
I have a problem which I can't seem to fix. I have 2 laptops, both dvd drives are not working. I have an external Usb drive that won't work under boot up. Laptops don't recognise it until drivers are loaded.Hp pavilion dv6500 won't boot. Mbr is damaged. Can't use repair disk as won't recognize Usb drive.So I put hdd into my other laptops 2nd hdd port " Hp pavilion Dv9800 and repaired boot sector that way. Tested it on dv9800 and boots fine.Put hdd back into dv6500 and get same mbr fail message.
