Solved windows 7 "windows startup repair error"

[Kaktussoft]

bootrec/fixmbr (put mbr boot code in first sector of physical disk). A small piece of code that searches for partition marked ACTIVE and loads that partition first sector and runs it. It loads a file called bootmgr (the boot manager) that in turn loads the boot menu \boot\bcd file. bootmgr and bcd are on C.

Win7 itself is on D

X is a ramdisk. A virtual disk in memory.... the recovery mini windows environment.

X and C are not important now. C is just the bootmanager and boot menu and working fine. C can be reconstructed anyway! No important data is there.

Only important thing is D (it's what called C in windows7). The dates of windows files are quite normal as well.

Root cause is still "corrupt registry"?

In win7 recovery environment

chkdsk/f  c:
chkdsk/f  d:

No errors? All errors repaired? If repaired... run it agin to prove no more errors.

bootrec/scanos and rebuildbcd only scans for new win7 installations not in boot menu yet. That's why it found nothing.... it's in the menu already

the root cause I was never corrupt registry it was hard disk 0. corruption was only my guess. I will check disk C and D for errors. is what in what menu??

In post #1 you say CorruptRegistry!!
In post #2 you already adised you to check the disks (although you never responed it had no errors at all)

#19 describes how to backup the 232GB volume. And how to restore important files later of you want to.
You have win7 Home Premium (64 bits because you have syswow64 folder)?

Install ISO is here Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
so take in case of Home Premium:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1-U ISO
English x64: X17-58997.iso

Do a clean install in case of unrepairable corrupt registry

Best thing to do first is format the 232GB partition first (now called D in recovery environment).
You have a valid product key? It's on a COA sticker on laptop.https://www.google.nl/search?q=coa+...JsPWPOaIgcAB&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=597

COA=Certificate Of Authenticy

In recovery environment command prompt:

diskpart
select disk 0
list part
exit

Only a 100MB partition and 232GB partition? No recovery partition?

How to Restore Windows on a Dell Studio by using the recovery partition

Do you see "Dell Factory Image Restore" option? Don't select it it yet... just want to know

 

[nomormonkeys]

that is not on the list of system recovery options. can I look somewhere else?

No recovery partition as well? Did somone else clean install win7 already previously? Or did you buy machine configured as it is now? Or did you upgrade from vista?

Failed to log message to event log. Status 50.=>ignore that

chkdsk/f c:
gave no errors?

chkdsk/f d:
gave no errors?
c and d are NOT in use.... impossible. Unless your prompt is on C or D. Just open a command prompt and do the commands.

So recovery stuff is gone. So a reinstall of win7 pro (is that professional?) has been done some time ago. Who did that? You should have a valid product key... you used that to activate win7!

Will do....if you can tell me any special instructions to add jpeg from my phone. I spent an hour trying but I am unable to select browse. Thank You!

 

[nomormonkeys]

All verified and processed. USN Journal "corrected errors in the volume bitmap" windows has made corrections to the file system. Just reply with any other info you need from the report. I can't upload a phone jpeg for some reason. Thanks

Run the chkdsk command again to prove it's still without errors. System still doesn't boot?
