System Recovery Options does not fixit!
Hi.
I'm running Win 7x64 Pro. This installation has been going 'downhill' for the past 7 days. I managed a backup yesterday to a cloud service*, but feel I've that I’ve not finished! I know all the data has been preserved on the internal drive. I'd managed to boot up yesterday eventually but today I'm stuck in this loop. I cannot get past 'A disk read error occurred' Press Crtl Del which take me back.
In Advanced Boot Options whatever I try I end up above. The option F12 gives the options but again I end up back where I started! Or with the recovery disk it loads the files and so far I've tried all the options excluding Image Recovery which I don't have. I have a Repair Disk and the original Installation Disk. I know there must be an option I've not tried but I must admit I'm lost on this one so far. I've had many near death IT experiences so I'm not panicking. This, on this side of the pond we call it **** Law! . Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers BC
* my external drive packed the other week and the PC wouldn't recognise my wife's Seagate Free Agent grr! I purchased a Synology DS413j but due to illness & circumstances I've not had the opportunity to fully configure and run it!!
