Can't get into Safemode even with Shane's Program

(1/6) > >>

I ran the repair program in normal mode and made sure "Repair Windows Safe Mode" was checked. I even restored to a previous system backup via Macrium Reflect and even that backup (5 days ago--everything rosy when I made the backup) cannot get into safe mode. I've run SFC and came out error free.  Is it possible something hardware related is causing this? Thanks.

Boggin:
Are those separate physical drives or just partitions on the same HDD ?

If they are separate drives then can you disconnect all except the one with Win 7 on it then see if you can boot into the advanced boot options.

If you can then can you check to see if you can get into the advanced boot options with just each of the other drives at a time with the Win 7 one.

What was the reason you wanted to boot into that mode ?

When I went to bed last night everything was good (always leave the pc on because I play music while I'm sleeping). When I woke up this morning my browser was acting weird, so I rebooted and other things started acting weird. So I wanted to get into safe mode to scan for root kits etc also to run full drive scans. (I used 4 different programs in case one doesn't do the job). Had to run the full scans and rootkit scans from my other OS drive instead. Also wanted to run Shanes AIO program in safe mode just in case it could fix what was wrong. Yes my backups are on 2 different hard drives, I alternate each month.

I have 6 drives if you include the dvd drive and it is a PAIN to get to the backs of the drives to disconnect them. Maybe I can disable them in the bios though MSI has the worst bios I've seen in years on a desktop system.

Boggin:
If they've all passed a chkdsk then they are probably okay.

Is your other OS drive Win 7 and will that when made the primary drive boot into Safe Mode ?

My other OS is Windows 10 (very problematic hates giving me permission to do anything normal  :sarcastic:). I'm also the Administrator on my system.

One other thing I discovered a while ago. I cannot change boot options in MsConfig
