    Win 7 can't boot but start-up repair can't detect anything


    Since the 11th of Jan I have been experiencing a black screen with just the mouse courser shown when booting my computer, as of reading other threads I tried holding f8 and manually starting start-up repair which did not work, (On the first attempt I got that start-up repair couldn't fix it details below) I was stupid enough not to create any back-ups so that didn't work, I also tried the SFC -SCANNOW to get a clean test. If you require any information in order to help me put your question down below and I will get back to you.

    Thanks,
    Aaron (Lennardson)

    After F8 advanced boot options->repair your computer, you did a startup repair.
    Do "command prompt" instead of startup repair. Then:
    Code:
    diskpart
list vol
exit
    Do you see all the partitions you expected? I'm not interested in DVD/CD or external stuff now. Detach external drives anyway if testing.
    What drive letters are pointing to the internal disk?

    DIR C:\
    DIR D:\
    DIR E:\

    What is the drive letter of the win7 volume?

    All on internal hard disk? I don't wat you to list DVD/CD. Anyway now do in "command prompt":

    Code:
    chkdsk/f  C:
chkdsk/f  D:
chkdsk/f  E:
chkdsk/f  F:
    Problems on any of the volumes? Repaired? What kind of errors?
    Eventually run chkdsk/f again to prove it's fixed

    failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with a status 50 .. quite normal in recovery envrionment.

    chkdsk/f C:

    no errors at all, or did it fix them?
    Same for D,E, F?

    Are you very sure C is drive letter of win7 in recovery environment?
