Scan Interrupted, Can No Longer Boot to Visible Logon Screen
lmitchell:
Classpnp has been coming up over and over as I've attempted safe mode. Some sites state that it isn't the last driver that shows that is the problem, but the one that comes after it. For all I know and the others know it's supposed to be the last one. Does anyone even pay attention before there's a problem?
I have a couple of external nonpowered enclosures? Is there anything to be gained from putting the internal drive into one and trying to boot, or would that driver conflict still likely occur? Would an external boot be possible without external power to the drive?
Boggin:
Does the enclosure plug into a USB port ?

I just rooted around in the BIOS to make absolutely sure I,m overlooking nothing, even though I've been in scores of times before. No way to reset any hard drive options as you've decribed.
I also took the opportunity to run a quick HP diagnostic on the drive. This panel is oonly for memory and hard drive. The comprehensive panel disappeared when I updated the BIOS months ago.
Itks only a quick test but the SMART test is reporting as PASSED and the Short DST as passed. HDD Sentinel and Ashampoo HD monitor both reported the disk as healthy when I was last able to check. I keep them running in startup. The latter recognized probelms (two abnormal resulst in the 50 or so parameters) but stated they were not yet significant.
Despite the crashing problem I had, triggered in part by Firefox loading certain pqages, and probably some software conflict with the 25 or so startup programs (which has been okay up to now), *everything* was fine until TWR crashed to blue screen in safe mode with networking (where I was running the scan, as recommended) and I signed back in and was confronted by the black screen and cursor. Cause and effect. That 8kb bad sector is a problem that needs to be dealth with and heeded, but is not the cause his issue.I,ve had dying drives before and the behavior is not so predictable.
I'll try whatevr is recommended next but cannot automatically agree that this has originated *because of* these bad (bypassed, no?) sectors, which may have come about because of multiple hard restarts over the last 2-1/2 days.

All the external drives are USB. Three are WD 1TB. Two are 2.5" laptop drives in Orico nonpowered enclosures.

Let's see if your restore points will do anything then.
Get yourself back into the recovery environment to select Command Prompt and enter rstrui.exe
