Startup Repair...

[Pringleo]

Hi, new here so I have no idea if this would be the right place but I'm having problems with my computer. Since I got windows 7 ages ago I never NEVER had one issue with it.. until this morning. I left the computer on as I usually do and when I woke up this morning it was in this startup repair junk. It said I might have portable devices hooked in and I needed to unplug them before it could repair properly.

The thing is, I don't have one portable device hooked onto it. But I deiced to unplug the printer and take out any of the useless cords I forgot about. So I restarted. Same message. Restarted again, same thing. I've restarded and shut down my computer 16 times, and still nothing. System restore doesn't work and it cannot find anything wrong. I dont understand what's going on, the computer was perfectly fine for ages and now I cannot even get into the desktop.

What do I do??

A similar problem was addressed on the microsoft technet forums here
Windows 7 Stuck On Repair Loop Over And Over Everytime I Reset My Laptop Really Need Help Thanks

Unfortunately I've never personally run into this. So that's the most I can offer at the moment.

Hello Pringleo, welcome to Seven Forums!



Have a look at this tutorial at the link below to see if a sfc /scan from WinRE will sort the issue, it may take running it a couple times if it finds integrity issues and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.


SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

Startup Repair runs better from the DVD Repair console or Repair CD: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105541-startup-repair-run-3-separate-times.html

If it fails, try System Restore from DVD/CD Recovery Tools list:

If this fails, run System File Checker from the DVD/Repair CD Command Line: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/139810-sfc-scannow-run-command-prompt-boot.html

If this fails, you can copy out your files using this method: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/93347-copy-paste-windows-recovery-console.html

Then either clean reinstall or run your Factory Recovery partition or disks: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/125874-re-install-windows-7-a.html#post1086729
