Won't start with endless reboot. Something corrupting System Reserved
Today I had two family PC's waiting for me when I came back from traveling that kept rebooting without any acknowledgement of the hard drive. So I started through the steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start yet Startup Repair found nothing even though the Disk Check showed good and HD tested good.
So I moved the Partition Marked Active from 100mb System Reserved to C and ran Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times which only required two separate repairs from boot using the disk to move the boot files to C and make it bootable, and it started and is running fine. I just deleted the System Reserved partitions.
As this is becoming a more chronic scenario, I'm wondering if an Update is futzing the SysReserved partition in some way.
