    Unable to start- startup repair problem


    The system starts with Startup repair. There is no other option and the repair is also not completing successfully. advanced startup options like system restore and memory diagnostic are also not working. it says that system has no restore points. the system is also not booting the windows Cd so that i can install a new copy of windows. even safe mode is also not working. everytime the Startup repair starts. kindly help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Janish, welcome to the forums :)

    If you are quite happy to re-install Windows then it seems you will need to change the boot order in the BIOS so that your CD/DVD drive is first in the list.
       Note
    Most BIOS will require you to press Del, F1, F2, F10 to enter while on the very first screen (P.O.S.T screen). Please watch as the machine boots for your individual options relating to your BIOS

    Are you using a DVD drive? The Win7 installer disk is a DVD.

    Once you can boot it correctly by setting DVD drive first to boot in BIOS setup, boot into the Repair Console to try running Startup Repair repeatedly to see if it will repair and start.

    If not you can copy out your files using this method: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

    Then wipe the HD before reinstalling Win7: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
