    WIN 7 wont Boot!


    i ran malwarebytes then win 7 wont boot up. i cant F8 and get to safe mode either. i tried the Win 7 DVD and the startup repair didnt work either. i can see C: drive directory in the dos prompt and can see files on hard drive. i think malwarebytes deleted something in windows startup. can anyone help

    on some of these programs you need to watch what it does .


    what was it doing before you ran the malwarebytes .

    Brand and model of your computer?

    Which Windows 7 CD are you using?

    Can you reboot and enter the recovery partition?

    i just ran a malwarebytes full scan and went upstairs to eat sandwich. computer was runnin fine just wanted to scan to check for any bad cookies or what not. when i came back 30min later screen was off and wouldnt resume. so i rebooted it and now it doesnt load win7 just says insert CD/dvd. i just looked in bios and the time is set to march 2000. and it wont let me change it. under IDE channels it see my cd/dvd drive but i dont see my Sata hard drive listed any where, did bios not detect it?
    this is a computer i built to game on. it has a gigabyte board. i was running win 7 ultimate.

    when i run the win7 dvd i can get in dos prompt and see my C: drive and windows dir.
    i would like to see if i can get this to boot as i dont want to reload win 7 and have to start all over with all my games and patches and drivers. thanks

    Hi,

    Its possible that Malwarebytes deleted a system file that was infected, causing instability in your system - Malwarebytes doesn't touch anything that is not infected. What was your reason for running Malwarebytes in the first place? What is the original source of your Windows 7 installation?

    Try this tutorial to see if it helps your situation:

    Hi,

    What type of infection did you have when you started running Malwarebytes? What is the source of your Windows 7 CD/DVD?

    It's not an IDE, so can't check the jumpers. Can't flash the BIOS, hum?

    i dont know of any infection. i run malwarebytes every now and then to check if there is anything bad to remove. last time i ran it it found nothing. this time i started full scan and when i returned monitor was off and would not resume. i had to reboot computer and now it wont boot. i think my win7 dvd is a oem i purchased online when i built this computer.
    any help would be great thanks. windows gives me a boot error file \boot\bcd
