Jeez! Just saved my day!, this one!
On some other forum, I found out someone had a similar issue as I did. Some virus or malware infected the system (as well as Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender - it's on auto update so dont know which is running at the time).
I get a warning that there's an infection, and suddenly, BAM! Blue screen with these words: UNKNOWN HARD ERROR! And that's that. Restarted it, and it would always boot in repair mode.
I said THERE WE GO. Ironic as it is, windows backup or system restore have never worked out for me - EVER. So i knew i'd have to reinstall Windows. Not even auto repair, or the stupid auto recovery disk does anything.
And then I landed here. 4 minute later, I was back on my desktop.
Thanks, Thread starter! You just saved my day!
