General Computer Support / ran windows repair v3.9.1 and got disastrous problems (SOLVED)
« on: June 04, 2016, 11:33:11 am »
hello at tweaking.com
i have had problems with my windows 7 64bit home premium sp1 since yesterday. i wanted to restore my computer to an earlier state with system restore and did that successfully. when the reason why i did that didn't disappear, i wanted to undo the system restore operation but then my problem started - i received an error message with error code 0x80070057. i tried several times - also with other system restore points, but kept getting the same error message.
i then had to try to re-install all the windows updates that had happened in the meantime - which unfortunately were a lot! the downloads didn't start, so i aborted the updates.
i then have been googling and checking for fixes to the above error message. which led me to your website and to downloading the windows repair utility in its latest version. so far all was more or less ok.
the serious problems started, when after emptying the pc of electric power as you suggest in the instructions of the repair utlity, i clicked on "re-boot in safe mode with networking". suddenly i get a blue screen and windows can't start anymore - not in safe mode and not in any other way.
i tried using a bootable cd, which at least led me to an enhanced options menu - but when i tried to do a startup repair it didn't work and i had to go back to starting with safe mode with networking - or rather, that's the only way that it goes back to starting.
as the pc is a hp, i have a recovery wizard on it, which i ran as well - all the cpu und memory diagnostics are fine. if i then want to go to startup repair, it's back to the windows recovery utility and even system restore from safe mode is not giving me a result. when i tried that it gave me another error code 0x8000ffff.
now i'm back to the hp recovery assistant doing a backup of files that it offers me, i'm afraid i will have to restore my system from a backup from an external drive i have - but it's 4 months old and i don't want to lose all the data from the meantime. the backup of files that's running now in hp assistant i don't know if it will include all that's important for me.
is there any other solution to my problem to be able to start my computer again without having to restore my system from a backup image?
thanks for your urgent help - i'm going to go on a trip in a few days and there's so much else i need to do and this problem is of course keeping me incredibly busy, stuck at my computer when i would need to be doing other stuff!
any help is very highly appreciated!
