    Startup Repair: bad hard disk: Bugcheck 7a


    Hi.

    So, yesterday, I turned my computer off so it could update. It turned off correctly.

    The next morning, I turn on my computer, and windows starts, and then configures it's updates. After this windows restarts my computer. When the computer restarted, Windows couldn't start. I tried multiple times, but got nowhere. System restare didn't work, I got errors when trying to restore. (I have tried 2 different restore points.)

    Startup repair, after a few tries, finally gave me an error. It said:

    Root cause found:
    -------------------------
    Bad hard disk: Bugcheck 7a. Parameters = 0xfffff8a001342c00, 0xffffffffc000009c, 0xdda0b8c0, 0xfffff900c0780000.
    -------------------------

    Every other test ran without errors.

    This was somehow caused by windows update, because my comp has worked perfectly until windows installed these updates.

    How can I fix this problem I'm having?

    Thanks,
    - Pilot

    Please explain why you turn off the computer to update...

    I suggest you run Check Disk.

Hello, The hard drive on my laptop recently failed and I purchased and installed a new one to replace it. I cloned as much of the data off of the old drive as possible. However, when I go to boot from it, it gets stuck in a startup repair loop. Startup repair doesn't find any problems, but it is...
