Cannot perform a system recovery option "repair your computer".

I have an ADVENT PC with preinstalled vista. I had problems with my computer and it won't start in safe mode. I really want to do a destructive recovery of the entire system, but my computer won't let me even do.

I start my computer and press F8. I select "repair your computer". At this point, according to my vista manual, I should get a selection menu language and the "Microsoft Windows start repair Environment. Instead, I get the windows logo, and then the log in screen. But instead of the usual choice of two user accounts, I have one option "Other user" very boring, with user name and password required. I tried my regular username and password, but it does not work. It says invalid or unable to connect at this time.

So what's happening? Is there a way I can get into the system recovery options?

Thank you, but finally I solved this problem by using a DVD I had been recommended to do when I got the recovery computer.

I was able to restore my computer to an earlier date and used again for about a week before the update is represented and exactly the same thing happened. The second time around I don't have restore points that were before the update for a system restore is absolutely not good. I started in safe mode and tried to make a start clean to see if something can have prevented the update to fill in correctly but not luck.

    I then tried a system restore and it didn't, I don't remember what he said about why she didn't but now all this when I start it is made choose me a keyboard layout, and then choose an option between "continues; Exit and proceed to HP Recovery Manager"'Use of a device'"Use another operating system""Troubleshoot"and"turn off your PC."

  • "Repair your computer" option missing

    Hello

    I recently bought an Inspiron notebook. It came with four partitions on the disk:

    -Small utility Dell (hidden)

    -10 GB Dell Recovery

    -Main OS Partition (NTFS - OS drive)

    -2.5 GB Partition (hidden) MediaDirect

    As soon as I got my hands in the system, I copied the recovery on an external hard drive partition and delete the original from the hard drive of the laptop. When I rebooted, vista bootloader shows now two startup options:

    -The first boots into Windows normally

    -The second gives a «winload.exe» error message missing

    So I inserted vista dvd in the drive and used the recovery option to repair the boot loader. This deleted the entry of falty, but as a result, removed the "Repair your computer" option in the F8 boot menu. Now I can't restore factory settings even place after regaining the recovery partition is original.

    How to restore the F8 menu so that it shows the option "repair your computer"?

  • Error System Recovery Options while trying to install Windows 7 on your laptop white (without os)

    I bought a Toshiba laptop satellite c55-c-174 with no OS on it. Downloaded Windows 7 from msdnaa and bootable usb drive created with PowerISO. Had a lot of trouble with the usb as a boot recognition, but then I changed the boot order to usb is just after the drive hard (i.e. second). Also in the configuration system changed boot at CSM Boot Mode. And it's system BIOS version 5.10.

    Finally, he started installation, but found no drivers. So I tried Startup Repair option. Didn't fix it, just at the point where I tried to access the repair your computer option again it says error System Recovery Options: this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows.

    Someone has the power to deal with this?

    Thanks in advance.

    ISO power not recommended to bootable media.  The prompt for drivers almost always means that the media is bad, because all modern SATA drivers are in the installation media.

    I create flash support using Rufus for UEFI/GPT, then start using only the Key of the BIOS Boot Menu.  Choose the UEFI version to the flash stick, then custom Setup, remove all partitions until the space unallocated click beside the AutoShape and start.

    If you have changed all the UEFI BIOS configuration settings, set them in the UEFI firstly, turn off Secure Boot, CSM disabled, Windows Boot Manager set first to start.  If, in case of doubt poster of photos of back and we will help you sort the parameters correctly.  It would be good also update the UEFI firmware like this can matter.

    All this is covered and much more still to ensure a perfect clean reinstall Windows 7

    It is a gateway M6866 laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit.

    Hello

    ·        Have you Configure RAID on the system?

    If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.

    Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.

    b. then restart your computer.

    c. press a key when you are prompted.

    d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext

    e. click on repair your computer

    f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next

    g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt

    h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.

    ·        If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.

    ·        If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    i. restart the computer.

  • Loop system recovery options

    This morning Satellite 100 my wife running Windows Vista itself got in a loop of the system, with absolutely no discernible way out recovery. I have so for you guys to see if anyone has had the same problem.

    First of all, the system stops (battery problem). It restarted, he and the Vista loading got a message box with the "System Recovery Options" section, just an OK button and the message "Cannot load this program click OK to restart" or something to that effect. Something off the machine.
    I tried F8 at startup upwards and all options in the recovery (including repair system tools) menu restart Vista and get the same message.
    I've searched the Toshiba support site and found nothing.

    I have a disc of recovery but that would reformat the hard drive and it has a lot of things not saved.
    I suspect it's to go into Recovery Mode and find a disk on the "hidden" partition error So, I just want to stop making so that I can start the machine and backup files. Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start Windows in safe mode?

    I think in the worst case it s necessary to reinstall Windows if it doesn t start more. I mean there is nothing you can do

    I m wondering that you didn't make a backup of the important files, you can save if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can connect to another computer and make a backup before reinstalling Windows.

  • trying to restore my dell 1520. "repair your computer" option is not available on the «Advanced Start menu»

  • KB3097877 update: no access to System Recovery Options

    Hello

    I'm looking for advice to help me with this ridiculous Windows 7 KB3097877 update problem on my Asus laptop. I'm one of the few unlucky ones who has had trouble with this particular update. I don't have access to the command prompt (which is often highlighted the best) way to solve the problem and that my computer does not have the ability to "repair your computer" once I hit the F8 key. Instead, I am led to the Windows Error Recovery page. I just visited Microsoft help page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3097877

    However, none of the three solutions they provided advice on what to do if the usual Advanced Boot Options do not appear! Quite honestly, I'm frustrated. I'm not keen on any medium, and one of the solutions I've read on requires me to create my own boot USB drive, that still seems more confusing to me. I'm borderline at the edge of panic. Everyone seems to have already resolved their problem with this update. If someone here can offer please no indication as to the best way, I can move forward from here, I would be extremely grateful!

    Hello Elena,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you found start bluescreen issues in your Windows 7 system. This scenario has started happening after installing the recent update of KB3097877. A new update was also released to solve the problem. Now, in order to diagnose and solve the problem, I suggest you try the steps posted by Ravinath P replied on 13 November 2015 in the following thread and check if the steps help you to solve the problem.

  • In the System Recovery Options administrator password?

    Hello dear users of Toshiba.

    I'm willing to use the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" in the "System Recovery Options" (after pressing F8 when the computer starts) but when I select Administrator as a user, he invites me for a password.

    I double checked my Vista user accounts and the administrator (me) is certainly not no matter what password that are bound to him.
    My problem is that I can't use recovery tool if I don't log in as an administrator...

    Can someone please help? Y at - it factory default password?

    Thanks to you all!

    Hello

    To be honest, your announcement confused me a bit especially the part where you wrote: but when I select Administrator as a user. I don't understand what you mean with it.
    But first some basic information:

    Can you imagine you use Toshiba notebook with the settings and someone will make a joke and use the F8 option and reinstall Vista. All of your settings, data and pre-installed software will be gone. Or can someone just use cell phones stolen to get around Vista secure password for laptop and do clean install of Vista using F8 option.

    To avoid this Toshiba has this security feature and each try to reload Vista password OS will be refused. So if you use the password to log in to Vista the same password will be required before the installation of recovery begins. By default, there is no password and the name of the administrator account will be shown when you start the recovery procedure. When you enter the correct password, the installation will continue.

    So much about the theory. I don't know how you do and which account you use, but the fact is, without administration account name and correct password, you won't be able to install Vista using this HARD drive recovery option.

Maybe you are looking for
