Hello

You may have a faulty hard drive. I suggest to download and run a diagnostic tool of disc from the manufacturer of the computer or the hard drive manufacturer. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

    Hello Orwell,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    You have a Windows 7 installation disc?

    As you cannot start your computer at all, I suggest to run a Startup Repair to repair the damaged boot system files and try to boot into normal mode. See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    If this does not help, try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally with mouse and keyboard.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • Vista won't start do not and the Startup Repair tool suspended

    Hello

    I just came across some problems with Vista.  I initially became a problem with my network card that he was unable to start the driver.  I made the mistake of unistalling thinking Vista would be to reinstall it when it restarted.  Since then it crashes just as soon as he gets to the start screen.  He did the same in all modes of security and restore last known good configuration.  I dug my CD and tried to do the Startup Repair.  He gets through loading files, but when it gets to the screen where you choose your language input method, etc., it freezes.  I can't even NumLock to switch on the keyboard, it seems to be completely hooked.  I think I installed SP2 and my CD is probably only SP1, so I think that may restrict some of my options.  Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the help.  I ended up out of the network card and could come out in safe mode, and then in normal mode.  Get that far, I plugged the card back and all was well again.  Not sure why she needed a time-out or why that hung near the top of Vista via the CD.

  • Loop continues with the Startup Repair tool

    Whenever I turn on my laptop (Dell Studio 17 which is using Windows Vista), it executes the Startup Repair and then says it can't find any solution to my problem so I click on finish and it stops. It never gets past that point. This problem has come completely out of the blue!  I have nothing connected to the USB ports, and I recently downloaded software or updates.

    The details of the problem are:

  • Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

    Hello
    My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

    I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

    My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

    Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

    Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

    If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

    Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

    However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

    But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

    Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

    Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

    Help!

    Unfortunately you still cannot run chkdsk on the drive operating system without re-booting, but be able to start in

    Safe mode may allow other troubleshooting procedures to take.

    Even being able to restart successfully in Windows Start\Shutdown options could help. Assuming that the HARD drive is

    not in default.

    -There may be another way to complete the audit, but as far as I know of is to boot in another operating system from a different HARD drive.
    One of the Linux OS are sometimes recommended and can be run from a bootable USB key
    (I have never tried this, so can't give details).
    With the machine running on another OS, you can run chkdsk on the problem of HARD drive without having to reboot.

    Another option to start-up (F8) is worth a visit-
    -In the display boot options, select the option - "last know good configuration" (or a similar phrase).

    -There's also a possibility the Master Boot Record is damaged. If you have a Win7 installation disc you can
    Boot the disk and fix the MBR from there-

  • Win 7 does not start, the Startup Repair says corrupt amdide64.sys

    I uninstalled my ATI Catalyst Control Center, which forced a restart.  The reboot takes me to the windows startup repair which fails to solve the problem.  The log shows that theamdide64.sys is corrupted.  The options don't help me.  For example, I have no recovery points on this computer, then that option does not work.

    There was a post on the forums who suggested using the win7 install disk and choosing the repair option, but who also wants a recovery point and will not work.

    What else can I try?

    Hello

    You probably won't be able to run the repair facility, since you can't boot into Windows at all.

    Since it's disk about the best way to back up your data, would be to put the hard drive
    in another computer as a 2nd drive (best method) or "possibly" in a USB external box (less
    likely to work in this case). Or the other may allow you to copy the data to a removable such as
    CD, DVD and other USB units. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of the system can help
    with data recovery. There are professional data recovery companies even if these services are
    generally expensive.

    There are bootable discs, such as those who use linux, which will start and you could save
    the data.

  • HP Pavilion stuck in the Startup Repair tool

    Hello. I have a HP Pavilion 1d21ca g6. I think he was under windows 7. I started to have problems with a blue screen that pops up a few times during commissioning, but the computer has always continued to start. I think that the blue screen that says only he there had mistakes, if this is the first time continue to start. Then yesterday, the computer was not able to start. I got a black screen that has start windows normally or launch start the repair. I tried to start windows normally, but it got stuck on a gray screen. Then I tried to launch the start of repairs which lasted a whole day and seems never to end. I tried a few times, the same results. I wrote this, I turned the laptop upside down to look down, and now it won't even turn. My daughter received this as a Christmas gift last year and it was barely used. I used to write documents for the University and I need information out of it. I hope that someone can help you.

    Thanks for responding. I tried this as well and the power was restored to my laptop, but the first problem has always remained. I found myself there are clips and the technician said that the hard drive is damaged. It's still under warranty so they will replace the drive. I hope that no more problems! Thanks again.
