Startup Repair infinite loop Windows 7

Hi, yesterday my computer was working normally. Then, when I tried to start windows (from windows), Startup Repair came and it did not fix the problems, I tired every single method on the web, like; running chkdsk in invite command, reconstruction, mounting, Startup Manager, trying to launch (3 options) safe mode, debugging mode, disable automatic reboot error system, last known good configuration, repair my computer and restore the system. Everything that the web offers on this conflict, and I'm still stuck in this infinite loop, had no more left options (dealing with re - install, which worked, but again returned to the same conflict), someone out there please help.

Office: gateway

RAM: 2GB

Disk: 200G

Other info: CPU AMD Athlon x 64 Dual Core, Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE nForce 430, Windows Vista

    Hello Arjun,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft community.

    According to the description of the problem your computer stuck at startup repair after installing Windows updates. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. So I would say that you want to run auto repair before you reinstall the operating system. To perform the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    To run the Startup Repair tool, see the links below for more details:

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Startup-Repair-frequently-asked-questions

    If the problem persists, try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) using the installation media and see if it helps.

    When you use the recovery (Windows RE) environment to resolve startup problems, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Since you are unable to launch desktop and stuck on auto repair loop, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then perform an automatic repair. If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

  • Computer turns on but does not boot to Windows, startup repair does not work

    When I turn on my laptop, it brings me to a screen titled "Windows Error Recovery" which means the following:

    "Windows did not start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. »

    He asks me if I want to '(recommended) launch Startup Repair' or 'Start Windows normally'.

    When I select repair system, the screen turns off for half a second only and brings back me to the exact page as I was already on.

    When I select "Start Windows normally", he brings me to the loading screen that usually starts with Vista (anyone who says (c) Microsoft Corporation), except that it never stops loading.  I left for hours, and he was still on the same screen.

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 with a processor Intel Core 2 Duo and Windows Vista Basic.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Hello

    You have tried yet.

    Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

    RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

    Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the message is genuine, please read this:

    The startup repair options are provided with a large number of systems of operating pre-installed.

    If this does not work, please read this

    Edit 1: I don't have an ERD. I don't have a USB key. Is it possible that I can do a 'repair USB,"instead of a repair disc?

    Edit 2: I can't contact my manufacturer... My parents will get mad...

  • Vista Home Premium SP1 Reboot loop infinite, inaccessible Windows restore

    Problem: Update marked Service Pack 1 (I do not know the real KB #) sent my computer in an infinite loop.  After a reboot "3 3 0% complete configuration updates / don't turn off computer" appears and the percentage continues to 100%, the system reboots and repeat.  I left the computer to update last night and now he has been yet updated this morning.

    Is trying to solve: I studied what I can on this problem.  I tried to access the system restore via the following methods:

    1. Shut down the computer, restart the Advanced Boot Options screen boot mode safe.  Result: after the appearance of the logo windows at startup, the screen returns to the screen "Update Configuration".  This is the case on 'Safe Mode', 'Safe Mode with networking' 'Last good known Configuration (Advanced)' and "Directory Services Restore Mode" I have not tried other options in the screen options start
    2. Using the recovery DVDs I've done after the installation of Vista (circa Dec. 2006): result: restore option only includes the restoration of the recovery image of boot sector with a complete HD wipe factory-installed.  Not the restoration of the system of options available.

    Plug material: I have (obviously) Vista Home Premium installed above a factory installed Windows XP Media Center (SP2).  Partition 2 contains an area of recovery that will restore the original settings.  Another partition is Ubuntu, which is how I can log in and post this message.  Also:

    • Model: Compaq Presario SR2050NX Media Center
    • Processor: Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz dual core
    • MoBo: ESC Asteropi 3
    • Chipset: ATI RC410
    • Southbridge: ATI SB400
    • Memory: 1024 M DDR2 - SDRAM (PC2-4200/PC2-4300/533 MHz)
    • HARD DRIVE: 250 GB
    • OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium on XP Media Center SP2
    • Secondary to OS: Ubuntu 9.04

    Computing: Average

    Mood:
    upset

    My goal is to restore the system to a point before the installation of the update.  I didn't want to wipe the system and start over.

    Thank you
    TB

    Do a repair disc to do a repair system restore / boot:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    If this does not work, now looking to relocate, because you have only the factory recovery disc.

  • Windows 7 reload in infinite loop: Dell E6400 laptop

    Laptop Dell E6400 frozen at windows startup. At the command prompt and started Windows 7 32-bit reinstall from CDs. Reinstall has not completed, now it's this loop: starts windows - "the installation program starts services", then error message "computer... met an unexpected error... cannot continue... click OK to... to restart the installation.» I downloaded Win7 disk image - it is on the USB. When restarting, press F8 and choose Safe mode with command prompt, but it never gives me a command prompt, or will it take the USB. I also tried 'disable automatic restart in the event of system failure' as suggested in another post, but nothing never happens to me to where I can run Win7 reload. Please help me out of this infinite loop.

    Hello

    I can imagine the downside of not being able to make it work as it should, and I'll be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made in the patches that you tried.

    This could be due to a hardware failure as well.

    From now on, I would ask to refer to the suggestions in the thread below link and check the status.

    Repair Windows 7 boot loop

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

    WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super. However, Windows Update wants me reinstall Vista SP1. Needless to say, I am reluctant to do so. But I want to be aware of the Windows updates. What do I do? TIA

    (With the help of Vista Home Premium)

    This gives a whirlwind:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. ensure that the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955430 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 have been installed. (If they were, they would belong to installed updates. If they don't, try to manually download/install.
