Win 7 update caused error, how to boot Advent laptop in safe mode?
Hi,
It's actually my sons laptop that i have a problem with, it's an Advent Roma 3001
It apparently happened when windows said it needed a restart to install updates.
i have tried running repairs on it from the recovery partition, also from a win7 repair disk
nothing seems to actually complete.
Originally the hard drive had a few minor errors that it has corrected.
but windows boots to the logo screen then flashes a blue screen of death so fast you cannot read it then restarts.
I have tried going into the command line, where more functions seem to work
But i was trying to run sfc /scannow
but it returns that a repair is awaiting restart, but because the laptop wont boot it wont complete that!
also advent decided that you obviously don't need to be able to get to safe mode
Is there a way to force a safe mode boot from the command line?
Or any other ideas?
