Windows will not start and repair functions do not work

Hello!

A few days ago when I turned on my laptop, it said 'unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. «I tried to solve the problem through the installation and repair of computer disk, but the startup repair does not seem to do anything be said "Startup Repair couldn't fix your PC (it ran four times), System Restore cannot find a restore point (sometimes he says that I have to specify which Windows installation to restore the good I don't have one) and refresh your PC says that the» drive is locked. Furthermore, each operation in the repair of your computer takes really long, on one or two hours. It's Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, I'm talking about.

In addition, I can not in safe mode as button by pressing f8 (or f5) ends with a sound signal and guest starts with x:\sources instead of c:\windows so minimal safeboot / network does not work.

I also tried to use explorer.exe to copy the most urgent files to a usb flash drive, but it does not display the files in c:.

Any ideas?

Thank you and best regards.

I suspect that you need to perform a destructive factory restore. Here are a few options to recover your files:

  • From your external backup. If you do not have an external backup, then this is a great time to review your backup strategy.
  • By starting the machine Mode of repair of Windows, and then using the console commands to copy your files to a flash drive. Post again if you need help with these commands.
  • By starting the machine with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then drag your folders to a flash drive.
  • By removing the hard drive and plugging it into another PC. Use a SATA cable if it is a drive 3.5 "or a USB enclosure so it's a 2.5 drive".

The above methods are much more time that executing regular backups on a backup drive GByte 1 costs about $60.

  • My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start. The repair option will not work.

    Windows Vista restore

    My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start.  The repair option will not work. I tried to use an upgrade disc, but the 'upgrade' function has been disabled. It says I have to do it from the office, to which I can not access. The repair disk feature did not work either. Is it possible to restore the system without losing my files?

    Have you had your laptop, checked by a technician?

    If you use a 32 bit Vista copy then any upgrade must be run from the Vista desktop.

    Hello texanbelle,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    I am including instructions below a scan to help repair the system files related to some components of Windows, including Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player.

    Repair Windows Vista Media Center files

    You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

    1. click on the Start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the item to the command prompt and select run as administrator

    2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

    3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

    4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

    5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

    6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

    7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps in this knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

    8. after fixing errors that are found, try to use Windows Vista Media Center again.

    Fix Windows Vista Media Center registry entries

    Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix key/registry values that are installed by Windows Vista, as there are files.  If you want to try to repair the registry values/keys that are part of Windows Vista Media Center, you will need to re-run the installer of Windows Vista operating system and repair the operating system.

    Try this and tell us if it helps with your question.

  • When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works.

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

  • Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

    Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

    I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

    Thank you Paul,.

    That solved my second problem and inspired me to look deeper for the response to my first problem. The answer lies in the tab 'distributed file","Installer properties' box 'create a program item:

    Wouldn't be nice if it is automatically checked by default for main sequence files? Wouldn't also nice if "Upgrade Code" was regenerated automatically by default whenever we have saved the file *.tsd under another name?

  • I have a number of games of cards, Word and puzzle that works well with XP but will not work on Windows 7.

    Is there a download of XP compatibility that could solve this problem?

    You can try the comaptibility mode. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows for the method.

    If you use Windows 7 Professional, ultimate or enterprise, you can try to use XP mode. See:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode for more details.

    If the games are 16-bit and you are running a 64 bit version of Windows 7, the games will not work unless you use an emulator.
