Windows 10: Windows 10 install on my laptop failed and now it's repairing the disk

So today, I thought I'd take a whack at trying to install Windows 10 on my laptop. Well what happened was it was really close to finishing the install, and it was like stuck on one percentage for a really long time, so I dunno if it was frozen or what. So, I powered it off, and then I turned it back on again, and it said it was going to restore my previous version of windows, but what it ended up doing is doing automatic repairing. So the screen says "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." It's been over an hour now. Should I let it keep running, or what? The hdd is blinking a lot so I assume that it's still doing it's thing. My laptop was running only Win 8 not 8.1 when I was attempting to the upgrade.

Windows 10 upgrade removed all operating systems

Hi all,

Yesterday I started the upgrade to windows 10. Unfortunately on the firSt couple of attempts the installation failed.

After rebooting it then came up with a windows repair screen for windows 10. After trying to repair it still failed, so I followed the options to do a clean installation by deleting everything on my laptop first. All through the Windows guidance.

The clean installation failed and now my laptop will not boot as it says there is no operating system. I do not have the windows 7 recovery disk and no other options of recovering a windows OS.

What can I do?

Upgrading from windows 7 to 10

Thanks

 

After failed ecription cannot clean install through repair disc

I attempted to encrypt my windows 10 home laptop using DiskCryptor and the encryption failed. I have a win 10 repair disk and attempted a clean install. An

attempting repairs comes up and "automatic repair couldn't repair your PC" comes up. How do I reinstall a clean copy of windows 10 home? Did the partial encryption ruin this drive? Please help!

Yes. Let it continue if the HDD indicator is blinking.

 

I don't hear it clicking though, I dunno, like..I see the hdd blinking, but like..I don't hear audible clicking, even if it isn't clicking audibly, should I still wait for awhile longer? I hear it click like 4 times or so every few secs

 

If you hear it clicking that's bad, means it failing. You should never hear a hard drive.


Give it some time, like 2 or even 3 hours. Better to wait and (maybe) have it complete.

 

It's not like a bad click, it's just the standard read sound.

 

Ah, okay. Still, give it some time.

 

Scanning and repairing drive C happened to do the trick. *Smile Now I can use my laptop again like nothing happened, and quite frankly, that's good enough for me honestly. I rarely use my laptop that much anyway. Maybe I'll try to install windows 10 again, but for the moment I think I've had enough for one day with it.
