"Preparing Automatic Repair" problem

Hello, I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 a couple of weeks ago and everything was going fine with my laptop. Until a few days ago when I turned on my laptop the "Preparing Automatic Repair"
screen prompt appeared. So I waited for almost an hour and the screen still had the same prompt. So I checked microsoft community and found this question that was relative to my problem. Thankfully there was an answer to the question on how to solve this issue.
So I followed the bootable media route since windows 10 is all ready on my laptop. But when I insert the usb drive with the media tool on it and start up my laptop the screen says "Missing Operating System". Please help on what to do next afterwards, Thanks!

 

"Preparing Automatic Repair" problem

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

This issue may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

• The basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard disk.
• The hard disk is damaged.
• Sector 0 of the physical hard disk drive has an incorrect or malformed master boot record (MBR).
  
  Note: Some third-party programs or disk corruption can damage an MBR.
• An incompatible partition is marked as Active.
• A partition that contains the MBR is no longer active.

I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

1. Set your BIOS to use the DVD drive as the primary boot device.

2. Boot with your Windows 10 installation DVD or the Windows Repair CD.

3. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …" appears.

4. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.

5. Click Repair your computer.

6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.

7. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.

If the issue still persists Contact your hardware manufacturer. Your best bet may be to contact the manufacturer of your computer or your hard disk.

Thanks.

 

Hi, assuming your HDD is ok and no significant corruption, try this:

Shut down. Remove battery.
Start up, and as soon as the laptop switches on, preferably before any disk activity, cut the power- suddenly- as in pull the cord out, flip the mains power switch.... (Yeah, I know...).
Now press and hold the power button for 10 or 15s.
Now reconnect power and try booting.

I've found ever since MS introduced this attempt at automatic repair (which has never achieved anything for me I can recall) if my laptop experiences a thermal shut down (gets too hot) I get into such a loop. That's the only way I've found out of it.

Otherwise you're into a repair scenario starting with chkdsk ....
