    Windows 8.1 installation stuck in a recovery boot loop


    I've been quite a big fan of Windows 7, but since my hardware is quite new, I can't install it. And no, simple "install USB 3.0 drivers" won't work or "use Windows 10 installer and swap the install.wim file". Trust me, I tried both and ended up uninstalling my main Windows 11 copy my goal is to dual boot Windows 11 and 7. Installing USB 3.0 drivers works, but installation gets corrupt, gets stuck at loading the disk.sys driver and for some random reason decides to remove the possibility to boot into my main Windows 11 installation all the files are in place, no partition was changed, I even

  2. Windows 10 system stuck in a boot loop

    There is a high chance that the boot sectors have corrupted. Fortunately, you can repair it however you will need to boot into the recovery partition on the laptop (usually using one of the function "F" keys) or with a Windows install disk.

    Step 1: Press F8 while booting the system to go into the Windows Recovery Menu. Unlike other version Windows 8’s recovery menu has the Metro UI style.

    Step 2: Click on Troubleshoot.

    Step 3: Click on Advanced options to get into Automatic Repair menu.

    Step 4: We need to use the Bootrec.exe tool. Click on command prompt and type in the following commands, one after the other:

    • bootrec /RebuildBcd
    • bootrec /fixMbr
    • bootrec /fixboot
    • Exit

    Now go ahead and reboot your system. In some cases you may need to run: "bootsect /nt60 SYS" or "bootsect /nt60 ALL".
