Win7 will not boot?

Hi,
It would be odd if it did not have startup repair but you would of had to install 7 with it for it to work I believe ?
Startup Repair

Repair Install

I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

Many thanks, :)

Hi,
Please do almost time for bed time here

But if you have a spare hdd already you can clean install on it and take ownership of the defunct hdd and recover the files you don't have (if) neither startup repair or repair install don't work

Then you're back playing with Linux and seeing what it can see and do with the hdd either installing along side (if) and after you do recover the files you're missing since June or July :/
As always good luck :)
Cheers.

If you get your data off it with a linux distro and then want to use recovery then you would hit F9 at boot up and it will launch the asus recovery so you can factory reset it if that is what you want.

have you been playing aroiund in the registry? because I just had a look at that type of BSOD error and it can be caused by someone deleting something important in the registry

Hi

Nope! I did remove Trend Micro from my system prior to installing Avast.

Thanks jvcjew for the ASUS Recovery instructions

Best :)

Hi,
TrendMicro
Well that would not surprise me
TrendMicro and any IOBit products have a scary past with corrupting windows

In most cases a clean install is all that can fix

Morning Thrash,

It's the only significant change on computer in ages. So I have to agree.

I'll remove the HDD and use my Docking station on a friends computer to retrieve my data. Hopefully that will work.

As I mentioned, I'll let everyone know what happens.

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers, :)

Hi Thrash and All,

I'm stuck on permissions to access my internal hard drive in my docking station on a friend's computer. Do I have to change ownership or can I just change the permissions under Users?

Thanks, :)

Hi,
Depends but if not going to salvage the hdd or win-7 install just take ownership of the entire drive

Can you not navigate through the drive ?
Which folders do you get a prompt where you don't have permissions ?
