Hi,
I did a system restore and deleted some old programs and then the system seemed to hang for an hour, so I just turned it off. Big mistake as I didnt realise it was immediately reinstalling some Windows updates. It now just boots into 'Preparing automatic repair'. I have tried the following options:
startup repair - fails
uninstall updates - fails
system restore - shows 3 options including windows update critical update but then 'you must enable system restore on this drive' - I think because its on X still.
When I go into command prompt, and type DISKPART and then LIST VOL - I can see the C drive, and others, but not the X drive
C: return takes me to C: In C: i tried
I tried sfc /scannow but the verification works and then 'Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation'....
I tried chkdsk /f but it says 'cannot lock current drive'...
I tried bcdedit which says bootloader and boot manager are both set at C: and osdevise is set to C: which are right.. yes?
I tried bootrec /FixMbr which completed successfully
I tired bootrec /ScanOs which found 0 - ... yet in C I can find the windows folders...
I tried in C:
Then I tried bootrec FixBoot .... and got 'access denied'
when I reboot it still goes into BSOD and then Automatic Repair. If I go into CMD i get X:\windows\system32
so none of the above worked!!Any more ideas please?
Thank You !!
