Vista Startup Repair loop - OEM disc only

Similar Questions

• 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.

• MS Vista startup repair couldn't fix the problem automatically

  Hello

  A little history - MS Vista was trying to install updates when the delivered system running. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked very well.

  When I re-started again after using it, even once, he tried to install updates. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked fine again. I went through the whole process several times in recent weeks.

  Then the other day, I got this screen start that says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. Since then, I can't get the computer started.

  The details of the problem are shown as:
  Problem event name: StartupRepairV2
  Signature of the problem 01: AutoFailover
  Signature of the problem 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386

  Locale ID: 1033

  In addition, all tests have been completed successfully, with the same error code = 0x0

  First cause is to the states that "Startup Repair tried several times but still not determine the cause of the problem."

  If I have to re - install the operating system again... I was not given a CDROM as a HP laptop... How can I actually re - install, when I do not have the CDROM?

  Also, I have some very important folders on the hard drive and I want to recover the files first before reinstalling the operating system...

  Any advice on how I can get before I have to destroy it by reinstalling the operating system would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks to you all.

  As you don't have a Vista DVD, try this:

  Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  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.

• Error Windows Vista Startup Repair

  My HP PC was working great until yesterday.  My son worked on Microsoft word and trying to launch Mozilla Firefox when the PC froze on him.  He tried to restart but failed to start.  He tried to use the system to repair, but it failed.  Attempts to mulitple system restore function have not as well.  Trying to avoid wiping the hard drive, so I thought I'd post the error here and see if he had any suggestions.  Repairing the system fails with the search for the following bugs:

  Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88d1a2e0, 0x88d1a42c, 0 x 82232650
  Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88ce4d90, 0x88ce4edc, 0 x 82270650

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home Edition.  I can't get into the PC via the mode without failure or any other means.  The only options seems to be via the command prompt, although I have not yet tried.

  All appreciated the thought...

  ·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, proceed as follows (some does not apply if you use the recovery disk - but to be honest I don't know if it will work with only a recovery disc):

  1 put the Windows Vista installation disc (or the recovery disk) in the disk drive, and then start the computer.

  2. press a key when you are prompted.

  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  4. click on repair your computer.

  5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  ·        c:

  ·        Boot CD

  ·        BCD attrib s h - r

  ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  ·        Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly, click the F8 key during the boot and go into safe mode with network - or do it from the command prompt on the drive).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (skip this step if you are using the disk)...

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer - if you use the command line, type eventvwr and enter).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

  Hello

  Method 1: 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.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  c. If 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.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. click on repair your computer.

  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

  See: How can I fix a startup (startup)?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

  Method 2: If above method fails, then run the command chkdsk WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and check if it solves the problem:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

  Note: Select command prompt from the system recovery options and follow the mentioned below as follows:

  Type the following command and press ENTER.

  Chkdsk /r

  Note: Chkdsk /r command erases / corrupted hard disk data corrections. Some of your personal files/data may be erased.

  The problem started when my friend has installed updates, unfortunately I do not know what they are, and she said that she did not bring any modification other than recently. If you need more info I can try to help, but I'm kinda at a loss of what to do something without possible srewing up.

  What is the startup problem?  Are there any error messages, and if so what is the EXACT text (including all codes)?  Which version of Vista is?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!

  I tried to do a system restore did not work.
  I tried to start with last known configuration work. Did not work.

  Does anyone have an idea what I can do for the next step and how to fix this?

  I installed SP2 less than a week ago, and I was working on a problem with the malware as well when this happened

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hi lschoen114,

  Remove all CD/DVD and restart the computer. Press the F8 key as soon as you start it again, until you reach the Advanced Startup Options menu. Select disable automatic system failure reboot so you can enter the code of stop error when startup fails.  View the details on the screen.

• Windows vista Startup Repair will not stop running

  Hi hope someone can help

  When I boot computer it goes to startup repair and custom automatically stops running same thing that happens when I use safe mode. Recently, we used the system restore, it worked fine until we used the Startup Repair
  Thanks for any help you can give

  Hi, Gretaevan2,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  * If this happens even in safe mode, then it is possible that the hard drive is the source of the problem.

  You can try the following steps:

  STEP 1: Try to perform the disk check and see if there are errors.

  See the following knowledge base to perform the disk check: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  STEP 2: Try the SFC Scan now.

  See the following knowledge base to run SFC Scannow: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

  If, in case, the step above does not help, try to perform the system restore to an earlier date when everything was working well.

  We can't wait to hear back on your part.

• X 51 Alienware Startup Repair loop

  So I've had this computer for about 2 years, maybe 2 a half. I've never had this problem until I did a restore to factory on this because I got the virus and it was really slow. After the restoration, it was working fine and soon I started my computer restarted and the startup repair updates presented themselves. I did the repair did not work. last restore point and nothing. I'm not the backup image because I can't find the cd. I tried to go into safe mode, and it would not do. I need help! It of really annoying and myself to fix this problem. Oooh and he began to make a beep sound I've ever heard come out if this is useful, whatever it is.

  OK beep is that something in the hardware has failed, and you must take the system somewhere in the computer and have an operating system to reinstall.

• Startup Repair loop

  I have a Dell Inspiron that no longer starts. It will not respond to any button except F2 or F12. There a beep noise (2 beeps) and anytime I have receive a something other than a black screen, it says, "a recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged... "or" the file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the checksum calculated. "What should I do?

  Hello

  These beeps mean something is wrong and you should contact Dell technical support or check with a real
  computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores). Maybe the two
  beeps indicate a memory problem. You could try removing and reinstalling the memory sticks.
  Be sure to remove ALL power before doing so.

• Startup repair and then updated conf. over and over again. operating system is vista.

  power on laptop goes to the Startup Repair and Configuration of updates then stops a restart, only to do it again and again and again.

  Follow the instructions and make a Bootable CD from him.

  Make the BOOTABLE CD into the computer that you downloaded for.

  Read the advice and follow it.

  Advice is given for a reason, because that is how the manufacturers recommended for:

  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.

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

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

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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