Boot/startup Problem
Hello,
My netbook is running Win 7 Ult x32. All was well until 2-3 months ago when it failed to restart. It comes up to a screen with 2 choices, "Launch Startup Repair (Recommended)" and "Launch Windows Normally," with the first being highlighted. If I select the first or do nothing I get a System Recovery Options dialog box and after selecting the keyboard language (US), I get a User Name and Password (login) screen. After logging in I get 5 choices starting with System Repair. This runs for a good while but ultimately says it cannot repair the system and that it cannot find any restore points. I really do not want to go through a reinstall.
The ironic thing is that if I select Launch Windows Normally before the time runs out, Windows will start up fine and nothing is amiss. It's like there is something wrong in the MBR that is keeping it from automatically completing the startup, but if I select it, then it will finish the boot up sequence.
Any ideas on what I can use to fix this?
