What was the initial problem that required a repair install?

 

[erthonon]

Just a blinkin cursor and nothing else

No boot at all


Ive been workong on this problem for over a week now and going bazurk

Repairs dont work

 

[Boozad]

Download MemTest86, create a bootable disk and boot from that. It will run automatically and check your memory for you, let it run for at least ten passes unless it finds problems before that.

Please also fill in your system specs so we have an idea of what hardware we're actually trying to diagnose.

 

[erthonon]

i have just done memtest

no errors

after a bit of dos code putiing in i got this result

 

[erthonon]

and at startup an empty white space with no operationg system to start.
It is still there, I checked but it doesnt show ???

Please help

And you can't run repair from your Windows disc?

 

[erthonon]

Yes i can. I did this several times

 

[Boozad]

It sounds like your hard drive is bad. Have a read through Step 9 of Gregrocker's Troubleshooting Windows 7 tutorial.

 

[erthonon]

And at the system recovery options. The operating system is unknown

 

[erthonon]

And at the startup repair there is this error message startrep.exe application error

 

[erthonon]

After trying tree times pushing the same button it is attemptong repairs

 

[erthonon]

It start repairing without this error message

And at the viewing

View diagnostic and repair details rule

There is this popup
Startup repair

Please help i guess it is a dos code o have to enter but i dont know any

 

[Boozad]

Did you run diagnostics on your hard drive as per post #9? You still haven't filled in your system specs as per post #4 so it will be hard to recommend the correct one for you.

Is this Windows 7 an upgrade from Vista or XP? Do you have the actual Windows 7 Ultimate DVD, or is it a copy/ISO?

 

[erthonon]

Yes it is an upgrade from vista. I repaired it or tried to repair with an iso.
The hard disk control showed an error with the special testing software you provided

 

[Boozad]

If there's an error on the hard drive then that's the problem. A new hard drive may be the only answer unless there's a chance of rescuing it.

 

[erthonon]

I ve got all kinds of iso and i cant remember wich was the right one for my system ?

 

[erthonon]

Imy computer is now attempting repairs repairing disk error thos,might .take over an hour

 

[erthonon]
