Startup Repair - how long is too long?

I'm trying to startup on a Windows Vista laptop repair which starts after would have been closed normally, after what looked like a Trojan attack.  (Do not know what happened to it exactly, but my friend was not run antivirus software!)
Startup Repair tool says 'repair disc errors. It could take more than an hour to finish", but it worked for 9 hours now, and trying to cancel it, returns the message"the repair operation cannot be undone"- is it still doing anything? It would be worthwhile to let the Startup Repair to run longer?
Thank you

Sorry for the not not to return to this subject at that time. In the case of the laptop, I have problems, the hard drive had to be replaced. I don't know if the HD has been the cause of the original problem, or stop the process of startup repair damaged HD.

On the State of the Service Toshiba site http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/WeblordTracking/default.aspx, I see that they have received the 27.07.2007.

    The following entry, which is 30.07.2007, said that repair is underway and nothing else. So, does anyone know how long can take a battery change, and how long should I wait for my laptop?

    I got a shock a week ago... Windows won't load and repair and recovery 4 commissioning. Ok... I tried Startup Repair tool because it seemed reasonable... It worked. Sort of.

    My version of Windows is enabled is no more, and even more annoyingly, because the key has already been activated Windows refuses to accept the current key!

    Now, Windows tells me I have the rest of today to activate... I gave in after that system restore has failed so that it starts every time and used R + R4 and tried to "restore to the factory. Which failed.

    That may have to do with the fact that I created my restore disks... However, I can not really on for about another week and a half restore disks, these are my holidays.

    I desperately need to keep my system intact, it is my lifeline. I live on an isolated island and this is my only form of communication with everyone, as being the main thing that I use for work or school.

    Can anyone help?

    Well, after spending some time on the ' net and pouring through hundreds of sites I came upwards with a fix "semi".

    I said I have type in a 'new' key when Vista application be activated first and the type of the key on the bottom of my computer.

    It works! Vista activated!

    Now however in the lower left corner of the screen there is a warning.

    Windows Vista (TM)

    Build 6002

    This version of Windows is not genuine.

    Very confused... There is absolutely no chance that it is a cracked version of Windows... I got it from a retailer of office.

  • HS SX60 - how long to keep the settings without main battery

    SX60 HS does not keep date/time settings and seems other setting too when the main battery is taken out for charging. How long camera must retain parameters without main battery? I sent the unit for repair, had refirbished with the same problem - memory loss.

    Should I continue to send the camera for repair under warranty until Canon will do something reasonable? Or return the money for that camera?

    The internal date and time battery should load up in 4 hours with a charged battery installed. Then it must retain the date and time for about 3 weeks once loaded and the battery removed.

    If this is not done or pretty close to that, then by all means send it back for repair or replacement or refund.

    To my knowledge, that is not a chronic problem with the SX60 so in all liklihood, you have a faulty they need repair.

  • Stuck in "Startup Repair" for more than 24 hours. How to get back to normal?

    Accidentally disconnected my external hard drive (my passport western digital), without disconnecting properly.  After that I connected again, with the power still on it, it asked me password of my external hard drive.  Once I entered the password as the frozen screen.  I manually turned off the laptop (sony vaio, nearly 2 years, vista pre-installed), then power.   He asks me to choose the startup repair or start normally.  I chose startup repair, need me a green-bluish screen with a blue loading bar.  Constantly load bar (move to the right on several occasions).  I let this one day and a half!  Nothing.  Off by pressing the power button.  Also, I unplugged the external hard drive thinking that was the cause of the problem.  No devices are connected to the laptop now. Power turned under.  Yet once, a black screen with text asking me to choose at startup repair or start normally.  This time I try to boot normally.  The screen is white and black for a few minutes, then an arrow cursor appears for a couple minutes, and then he brings me right to the Startup Repair choose or start normally.

    I also need to say that any action is veeeeeeeery slow.  It takes minutes just to get from one screen to the other.

    I actually pulled that momentarily to a screen with a gray window that reads "system recovery options choose a tool" with the following choices: «Startup Repair, System Restore, restore full pc windows, command prompt, windows memory diagnostic tool»  That return me to normal or the other.  Turned power off and then on again and I tried pressing F8 at startup upward.  It gives a long list of options of safe mode, etc.  I am at a loss.

    Every action I take, I find myself back to choose the Startup Repair tool or start normally.  Nothing works.  There is no way, that everything is just gone!  I didn't disconnect an external hard drive accidentally!

    Please help if possible.  Tomorrow will be the day 3 of this madness maddening, ridiculous.

    Well, it's a week or so later, here is what happened: the hard drive was dead along... Well well... According to the pc repair shop I ended up taking to.  That is why no troubleshooting worked.

    So THANKS to those who have tried to help me, but it was ultimately useless in the end.

    Computers are too sensitive if you ask me.  Certainly did not get my money's worth out of it.

  • How long will be Mavericks be supported by Apple?

    Hello.

    I love the Mavericks.

    I'm not too fond of Yosemite and El Capitan. Seems like all is get oversimplified in the wrong direction.

    I use older Mac, Macbook Pro Late 2008 and 2011.

    I think Apple releases new Osx versions faster than ever and probably a lot has do earn more revenue.

    I noticed that the fan is working like crazy on the Macbook Pro 2001 with El Capitan with similar processes which are not CPU lift on the Mavericks.

    Question:

    How long will be Mavericks be supported by Apple?

    Last year the support of Cougar was abandoned. Mavericks is next on the list... So this might be a good time to start troubleshooting any wrong with El Capitan on your 2011 MBP. Because I have no problem whether EC currently running on this same exact model.
