Windows 10: Can not reset windows, can not boot, automatic repair fails, is my hard drive dead?

I tried everything i know. I tried booting normally, safe mode, any of the 3 options didn't work. Boot recovery always fails.I tried bootrec commands and everything i could find on internet, everything said it succeeded but still no boot. There is a error when trying to recover to factory settings, without any further explanation. Installation from USB and CD both led to no results so far.Windows 10 22H2.

Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


Situation on PC first,listen:

Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

Pc :
2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
4790k stock
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


Now laptop with old standard bios:
On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

laptop is very old with 2gb ram

Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



Thanks for suggestions.

 

Windows boot issue - dead hard drive?

Hi all - was given a laptop by a friend to take a look at. Pretty sure the culprit is a dying hard drive, but wanted a second opinion. Laptop fails to boot and she was getting constant 'Startup Repair' errors in Windows 10 on attempted bootup.

Now, however, when I try and boot it, it stays stuck at the ASUS logo screen (it's an ASUS F555L laptop) and sits there FOREVER before going straight to the 'Troubleshooting' screen (the one with options like 'Command Line', 'Startup Repair', etc). I went into the command line (which took forever) and tried to run a chkdsk and it gave me a "chkdsk is not available for raw drives" error message, which I've never seen before. Looking it up gives me the common thought that the file system is borked or unreadable.

I booted up a Linux Mint LiveUSB to see if I would have any better luck there, but it doesn't even list the drive/file system as mountable. I used GSmartControl to check the status on the disk and am seeing a lot of relocated sector errors (among others) and like 49 listed 'uncorrectable error in data' issues:






Pretty cut and dry that the hard drive is toast and that is the likely culprit, right?

Thanks!

 

Windows won't reset or restore, Automatic repair loop

Hi Bruno,

When the Automatic repair fails, we can suggest using the command prompt from Windows 10 Boot Options menu to run bootrec commands to fix the files the Auto Repair couldn't. Here are the steps:

• On the windows Recovery Option, choose Troubleshoot >
  Advanced Options.
• Select Command Prompt.
• Enter the following commands in the Command Prompt:

• bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
• bootrec.exe /fixmbr
• bootrec.exe /fixboot

Once the repair is done, restart your PC and check if the issue is resolved. Let us know the outcome, so we could provide further assistance as necessary.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.
