Win 7 will boot until just before User icons show, then hangs.
My win 7 laptop seemed to hang at user logon, no mouse or keyboard response.
I did forced shutdown.
After that Windows detect some problem, want to do the recovery boot.
It goes to the point where I see windows screen, I never see a logon icon.
How long should I wait ?
I try to boot from CD, the same. it hangs and I never see the user icons.
I try to run the repair option from CD. It hangs at Starting setup.
How can I, 1) schedule a chkdsk ? or 2) force a reinstall of Windows 7?
Try booting into Safe Mode from the Advanced Boot Options menu. If you can do so, see if you can roll back your computer to a date/time prior to the first incident using a system restore point.
Still in Safe Mode, see if your computer has any damaged or corrupt system files. Run a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot th ecomputer after each scan.

I tried the options there, I cannot enter safe boot even from here. When just about to enter Windows, I get the instantaneous blue screen followed by reboot.
I cannot seem to get the point where I can to set chkdsk and restart windows.
