Attempt to repair loop

My 2000 series laptop is stuck on a loop of tempting repairs. What should I do?

Hello

It should have been a software utility on your laptop that would have enabled you to create 1 recovery media set, however that the HARD drive has failed, it is not an option any longer.

Regarding the cost, a brief overview of what you need to do is detailed below.

Your computer is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

Hard drive 500 GB

750 GB hard drive.

The procedure to replace the hard drive starts on Page 54 of your & Maintenance Guide.

*************************************************

Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new hard drive, there are two possible options.

1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.  The cost varies a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

Order HP recovery disks.

2. download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

You can create a flashdrive bootable for this Image using the free app below.

The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

Other software and drivers you need can be found here.

  • HP Notebook PC D1E80UA #AB 2000: stuck on 'Attempt to repair' at startup

    When you press the power button to turn it on I get "prepare auto repair. "Diagnose your PC", then "repair attempt. Never go on after that. What can I do to fix this?
    I think that this has happened after I attempted to updat my software. Don't know if this process never finished before I got turned off.

    Sounds like a hard drive problem. Use System Diagnostics to test. Immediately after switching on at startup and tapped on the ESC key about once per second. This should bring up a menu where the System Diagnostics F2 is a choice. Press the F2 key.

  • Auto repair loop

    I'm stuck in the loop of the automatic repair of HP Pavilion (windows8) and I need to know the safest rest / how to solve this problem.

    Hello

    In this case, the error code 24 characters for the drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the initial problem you describe in your first post.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    Kind regards

  • System, Vista repair loop

    After a difficult time with my laptop, now it seems to be stuck in a loop of system repair.  After each restart or even when I try to turn it on, it just goes straight to system repair.  When I try to start with last known good configuration or failure safe mode, it just goes straight to the repair of the system.  I tried chkdsk /f /r and same sfc scannow to command prompt.

    I can't start in Safe
    I can't start to last good configuration
    No matter what I choose, it always starts to repair the system.
    When I try to do a system restore, I get a message saying that I currently have none.  I should have at least 2, and a partition on the hard drive (d :) is where they should be located.

    If the test has confirned that your hard drive has failed, is no more that I can add to that.

    Reinstall will not correct a faulty hard drive.

    Saving your files, if possible. :

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF all your hardware is all work) > and try to copy your data from the hard drive like that.

    If no method does work, you will need to contact the data recovery specialists; Beware, they are very expensive.

  • Vista Startup Repair loop - OEM disc only

    My son has this problem after having just disable his laptop ASUS Vista after that that it froze. At the time, he was installing a new software (Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2009) and an error of the pilot came to a Belkin USB peripheral series that he had added previously.

    Repair system just keeps looping - it gives the choice between repair or start Windows normally, but once it times out he just reloops without anything to do. I tried F8 to try other options, but none of these works (for example: start in safe mode, return to the last known good configuration, etc.).

    As Vista was loaded with the ASUS OEM, the Vista recovery disc does not offer anything but wipe the disc on which Vista is loaded, which means of course the entire disc is how they put in place.

    Are there other options?

  • My computer guard direct me to the Windows Startup Repair loop. Is this a virus? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    OK, here's a little history:
    When was surfing the Internet (using Mozilla Firefox), he froze and said that he "did not." Then I left the computer alone for a good 15 minutes, but to realize that nothing happened. From there, I decided to disconnect the computer to see if I can re - open Firefox. But when I tried to connect it back, the computer take me on the desk. It was stuck at the screen that says 'Welcome' (the form that appears after clicking on your user name) in the end, I turned off the computer by holding the power button, because there was nothing I could do. When I turned on the computer a few minutes later, it was time that I met a huge problem.

    The problem:
    When I turned it back on, a black screen appears that gives you the ability to boot your system with a repair on your computer, or start normally. I chose "start normally. After that, it took me a blue screen with a window that says "Startup Repair". He began to scan the computer saying «attempted repairs...» "When I saw this, I turned immediately shut down the computer, thinking it was some sort of virus that pretends to fix the computer. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on for the second time. Of course, it's the same thing. But this time, I allow the scanning process to complete. When it was over, he said that the system could not be repaired and advised me to contact Microsoft, with my "contact information." I took this as a red flag, and click Cancel. I suspected it was an attempt to identity theft. (Though, I could be wrong, of course.)

    Honestly, I don't know if if there is indeed something wrong with the computer or if it's a virus.

    I tried to find out by going online and looking for solutions. From there, I tried a method where you press F8 several times until the Advanced Boot Options go up and selected "Last known Configuration" that did not work. I also heard on the "chkdsk" method, but I don't know how to do and there is no guarantee this will work.

    After that, I did more research and realized there were several ways to solve this problem. But when I went through the tutorials, the steps have been very confusing to me. I felt like most of these tutorials aimed computer technicians or people who knew in fixing computers. The steps were so confused until I found myself referring more questions than real answers!

    So now I'm reaching out to help, and I really need! It would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to format all my data.

    Please keep in mind that I am a lover of computers operating. The two programs I normally use are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Word. So please don't be assuming that I know my way in and out of a computer. I'm no where near, in every sense of the term, an 'Expert '. If you can, I would like a simple, easy to follow, simple tutorial, step by step, which is not turned to professional users. Still, I am not very competent in operating computers.

  • Pavilion x 360: auto repair loop

    My laptop was working fine. I left home and came back, and now it is stuck in a loop of auto repair. I was looking around a bit online and nothing has worked. I can't enter the mode without failure or BIOS. I don't have a disk hard or in any case to reinstall anything. Don't know what to do.

    Hey @sowens3,

    If you enter the BIOS by pressing F2 key immediately as you power upward? If so go to Diagnostics and test your hard drive.

    If you enter a command prompt test: on the command line, type SFC/SCANNOW Command - System File Checker will open and check the system.

  • Toshiba Satellite C55 BSOD/repair loop. Renounced HD, is going to replace, how do I reinstall 8.1 w/no key?

    I lost so much time trying to solve this problem (and it's my own for not not the definition of a restore point) that I am now ready to move on by installing a new HD.  I have a HD OEM (MQ01ABD07) on the way to the Amazon, but I'm not sure how to install on the new HD 8.1 because there is no key and no way to find it in the BIOS.

    What is the process to install (or reinstall) 8.1 on a new HD?  What I have to contact Toshiba and pay $40 for a disk or download?  Can I use an Installation USB drive w/Windows 8.1 on it support and hope that the BIOS automatically allows the installation?

    Thanks for any help... especially if it is moderate in direction tech (sic?).

    Just a follow-up (in the case that everyone has difficulties to stuck in a loop w/no restore point or disk saved image restore).

    I decided to use the option "Erase the hard disk" utility Toshiba on my C55, namely because I had nothing to lose (as mentioned above, I was going to replace the HD anyway).  It comes to the nuclear option, that nothing will be on the hard disk when finished.

    When the utility has reached 30%, I finished the process and enabled the HD to restart.  Screen quickly flashing no an error of operating system and rebooted again.  the HD will allow to recycle the process continuously.

    I then used F2 for BIOS, change boot order priority to USB and close the laptop.

    Insert a w/10 Reader USB installation media on it and the computer restarted.

    HD recognized the installation media and do not re-enter loop 'Repair process' (finally!).  Chose 'Installation' (not ' fix,' that I tried at first and it would not) and created new partitions, files and installation.  Regarding my first question here (BIOS will recognize installation and does not require key?), he did and the installation went forward with/without a hitch.  A took about an hour from start to end (including updates)!

    Hope this helps someone who think they are in a loop to 'Fix' and for whom the existing discussions did not work.  Of course, you will lose all your data... but you will recover the operating system.
