Windows 7 repair installation attempts fail
After trying to run an auslogics registry defrag program I've been stuck with blue screen stop errors. Every attempt to resolve this with a system restore or a repair installation has been blocked and there appear to be no solutions.
I'm running Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit
By ths way, the DVD drive on this computer does not work, so my only reainstall option is though USB, but all attempts encounter roadblocks.
Starting in safe mode
goes directly to blue screen
stop 0x000000f4
When I get the computer to start from a USB stick
I get
windows is loading files
install windows
setup is starting
please read the license terms
accept the license terms
which type of installation do you want
I choose upgrade
then I got
compatibility report
the computer started using the windows installation disc remove the installation disc and restart your computer so that windows starts normally
Other attempts get an an install driver screen, bu there's no hint on what driver is needed or where to find this driver. Again, I'm trying to run the installation from a USB stick that's already inserted in the computer.
I try
boot rec /fixmbr
the operation completed successfully
bootrec /fixboot
the volume does not contain a recognized file system
bootrec /rebuildbcd
total identified windows installations 0
I try
chkdsk c:\f
chkdsk discovered free space marked as allocated in th master file table
windows has made corrections to th file system
8kb in bad sectors
failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50
System Restore says
No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive
There's a chance that there are restore points on the c: drive but I can not switch the system drive to c:
When I try
scf /scannow the response is
there is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete restart windows and run sfc again
They I try
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
This does not work.
I ran windows memory diagnostics. No problems found
startup repair says
startup repair could not detect a problem
So every option encounters an unavoidable roadblock.
I've searched over an over again or a solution but nothing works and every sugesstion leads to an unworkable dead end.
