Damaged boot file Windows Update

I have a Dell desktop computer that was installed with XP in factory then put express upgraded to Vista.  I got an automatic update of windows and now it says that I can't start windows because there is a corrupted file.  I performed 15 times startup repair, and he repeats to me that he cannot repair the corrupted file.  I did memory diagnostics and hardware and all pass.  How do I do a system restore without logging on windows? Help?

News of the computer: it's a Dell DXC061

Hi Heather73,

If you have a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, you can use the same and try to perform a restore of the system starting from WinRE.

You can see following article if this can help.

  • Unable to boot after Windows update

    Hello

    As is strives to update windows today, I wasn't expecting to lock up my computer, but now I am facing blue screen of death at every start. The Startup Repair tool is not help... So for now, the only option I see is to reformat my C drive?

    It was really unexpected, that I was a bit installing optional updates in windows (mainly the drivers I think for the fingerprint reader, graphics...) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformatting.

    So I don't expect too much help here because I can do basically anything that even the startup repair does not work. But I wonder, is there some windows updates that are to be avoided? I'd only like to know this only screwed to the top of my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.

    Thank you!!

    Hello Peter, thanks for your response. I could back up my files on my C drive using a DOS command prompt and then restored a system image of a few months ago.

  • Change to save the file windows updates 8

    I have an SSD of 24GO on which I have installed Windows 8, but the problem is that the drive is not large enough for its updates, so I was wondering how to change Windows update record the location of the file on another hard drive?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that you want to change the update of Windows save the location of the file on another hard drive.

    I wish to inform you that there is no option to have Windows Update files to a location other than the system files. It is necessary to have Windows Update files to be saved on the same drive and the same partition as the operating system.

    However, as you have limited space on your SSD, you can choose to disable the automatic updates of Windows and install only those who are well kept.

    You can follow the steps described in the article below to turn off the automatic updates of Windows or to manage the way that Windows provides and installs available updates on your computer.

These were not updated video card basis. Also, I tried to use the safe mode, but it crashes on MUP. SYS. I ran chkdsk... and who has not fixed it. Any ideas other then a new installation? Thanks for your help!

    Kevin_C_K,
    You said you ran chkdsk and it didn't fix it, but it will report all the problems?
    If you are still having this problem here is a couple of things to try (if you haven't already done so).
    Run the sfc/scannow utility.
    When you have run chkdsk if you do not use the /r switch, then repeat the it like Chkdsk/r

    After the clean installation, update you all hardware drivers before you start the Windows updates? Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

    Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

    Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

    Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

    Hello Astroguy,

    Thank you for your response back!

    Good to know that you have done a repair install.  What I would do is run the SFC scan, because you performed the installation of repair recently the chances are that the SFC scan should be good.  If there is a problem, it will signal you when finished.

    Then I would go to Windows Update to check if he has new updates and/or try to update all those who did not.  If you still get the updates that do not please let us know what he's trying to put up-to-date and error.

  • Unable to boot after Windows 7 update

    Product: HP Compaq 6000 Pro format microtour

    OS: Windows 7 (not sure 32 or 64-bit)

    I installed about 15 Windows updates last week, some of them is critical, then restarted and the computer was fine. This morning my computer was slow, so I restarted, and now I can't start. He keeps go to boot menu options. I tried...

    -Safe Mode

    -Mode low resolution

    -Last good known Configuration Mode

    All of these options to the same start menu cycle.

    HP Startup Repair finds problems with the disc, says he corrects, finishes, but doesn't change anything. Back the same start menu.

    I tried removing battery from motherboard and BIOS restore to factory settings - or solved the problem.

    Finally, tried to restart from the disc installation, but apparently for HP there is only the option to restore the default settings (erase all data) and no possibility to repair or return to an earlier date. I really, really, want to lose data if possible.

    Any ideas?

    RESOLVED: Ran Startup Repair, but this time took so I could look at the newspaper.

    Root cause found: System on the disk volume is damaged.
    Repair action: file system repair
    Result: Completed successfully.

    Yes!

    Still, would be nice to know if it can be avoided in the future.

  • Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

    Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

    I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

    After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

    The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

    Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

    The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

    The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

    It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

    On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

    The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

    Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

    However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

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

    Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

    Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

    This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

    So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

    Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

  • Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

    Hi all

    Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

    To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

    A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

    I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

    Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

    I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

    I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

    Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

    Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

    If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

    DISM is a thing of Windows 7. First test the hardware.

    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
