• "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"?

  I have an Inspiron 1520 running Windows vista. I'm doing a restore of the entire system, instructions on the Dells Web site that press "F8" at startup.

• 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.

  When I press F8 togo in this menu which gives the safe mode and other things, when I click on repair your computer, it won't work, it just asks me to power off the computer.
  How can I fix it.

  Hello

  Maybe your system is confusing upward. You said, you have installed some software stuff (Winutilities) and possibly this affected your system.

  If you have a Vista disc (not the recovery disk Toshiba), you can start Notepad using this disc. During initialization, you should be able to choose a repair console providing an option that might help to fix and repair the system.

  If this is not enough, then you will need to install the new system :(

  Hello

  First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

  Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  As Windows automatically launches the Startup Repair tool there is a possibility that she cannot cross the whole scan problems.

  I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  1. Insert the installation disc.
  2. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. click on Repair your computer.
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
   
  Check out the link for more information below.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

  If startup repair does not resolve the issue then in the same way using the windows vista disc try to restore system until the day where computer was working fine.

  I hope this helps!
