Windows 7 Error Recovery and Advanced Boot Options
Are the startup repair files installed on the hidden partition? I found this extract from a book does anyone agree with this? I unplugged an system with a 100MB hidden partition which contains the startup repair files but i recieved Figure 8.16 and not Figure 8.17.
anyone with any info on this??? I need to adjust windows so it doesnt auto repair..:)
Windows 7 Error Recovery and Advanced Boot Options
If Windows 7 is unable to start normally, Windows will display the Windows Error Recovery dialog. On a system that does not have Startup Repair files installed, the Windows Error Recovery dialog looks like the one in Figure 8.16. You can use a Windows installation disc or a Windows repair disc to repair your computer.
Figure 8.16 Windows 7 displays this type of message if Startup Repair files are not available on a system that can’t start.
TIP
To learn how to create a Windows 7 repair disc, see “Preparing a Windows-Based Computer or Tablet for Easier Troubleshooting,” Chapter 1, p.37.
On a system that has Startup Repair files installed, the Windows Error Recovery dialog provides the options shown in Figure 8.17 when your system can’t start.
Figure 8.17 Windows 7 displays this type of message if Startup Repair files are available on a system that can’t start.
On a system that didn’t shut down properly the last time it was used (for example, if you used the power button because the system locked up), Windows Error Recovery offers Safe Mode options, Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), or Start Windows Normally.
If you suspect that Windows is not working as well as it could, but Windows 7 does not launch Windows Error Recovery, you can still choose from these and other options by pressing F8 repeatedly on startup until the Advanced Boot Options menu shown in Figure 8.18 appears.
