Files are Missing or Corrupt

<< < (3/6) > >>

Larbo:
Hi,

Ran the upgrade last night and this morning. Seemed to go well but will not start. Defaults to Start Up Repair which cannot fix it and when done, shuts down. Same with Safe Mode. The Win 7 disc will not work because of the same issue with "non-compatibility" again. Start Up Repair still shows no operating system in that Operating Systems box. Upon starting, Windows shows a quick white progress bar at the bottom of the screen that says "Loading Windows". I don't have an HDD image. I can get to a command prompt via Repair.

Besides a new install, any suggestions?

Boggin:
At the cmd prompt can you enter chkdsk and let me know what it reports.

This is a read only disk check so should produce its report on screen.

Larbo:
This volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk might report errors when no corruption is present.

Among many other things, it is disconcerting that when Windows starts, the white "windows loading files" progress bar appears at the bottom of the screen... like the first of the two bars when a Start Up Repair Disc is inserted.

Boggin:
Well at least your HDD is okay.

Can you go Start and type eventvwr and press enter.

If need be,expand Windows Logs then click on Error then on View all instances of this event in the lower right pane.

Look for date and time stamps for when you booted up to see if it reports anything.

Larbo:
No can do as I cannot access Windows. No home page, no Start, no Safe Mode. Every attempt results in a Startup Repair and ends stating that it cannot fix it. The only portal I seem to have is cmd via a Startup Repair disc.

I tried to run sfc but got his: "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete.  Restart windows and run sfc again."

It is (??) interesting that when I go to cmd when it reverts to Startup Repair upon booting up, it does require my Windows logon.

If all else fails:

1.  I did find a Windows DriveBackupImage of c:/ from 2016 and an Aeomi Backup from 2018, also of c:/.  Those are on external USB 3.0 drives whereas my Data Drive and another smaller SSD are internal Sata drives, hence the desire to see exactly what is on them.

2. Is there an off-board basic windows I can use to access the internal drives via the DVD drive?

Thanks!!
