Lost Power, PC won't boot into Windows 7
After countless searches I finally decided to post here as Im about to give up.
My computer shut down suddenly and upon powering it, it says windows must do start up repair. Whenever start up repair is initiated, it just says searching for problems and does that forever (well ive left it overnight and still the same). Ive tried safe mode and all that but it never loads unfortunately.
I've created a system recovery disk but everytime I boot with it and after I select language, it says searching for windows installations and again that goes on forever. I've got ahold of Win 7 USB install and when I attempt to repair computer, i'm once again hit with the searching for windows installations popup. I do have access to command prompt through the win 7 install (by pressing ALT+F10 as soon as it boots up).
Any ideas are welcome, I just dont want to lose the files on the hardrive. The computer itself is 5 years old, but hasnt given me any major problems in the past. Thanks I will be up rest of the night trying to gain access back into my computer.
