Hey folks,
My girlfriend's Dell Mini 9 netbook decided to start acting up recently. She turned it on, and it decided to run startup repair. The repair always fails for no apparent reason, and the computer shuts itself down. I tried running a startup repair from a Windows 7 repair disc. The repair from the disc claimed that it fixed issues, and yet when I started the computer up again it ran startup repair again. Its stuck in a cycle I cannot get past. I tried running system restore from the repair disc, but it always fails as soon as its finalized.
Basically, what the heck is wrong? I unfortunately have little software experience, the majority of what I know is hardware related. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I just ran startup repair from the disc again and read the error details. It says that the root cause is "startup repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem." It still says the errors were fixed. But after yet another boot-up, the repair still automatically runs and fails.
Details of the failure:
Startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically.
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21200681
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 22
Problem Signature 07: CorruptFile
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
I really need assistance ASAP, as she uses this netbook for everything school-related. I would have resorted to the GeekSquad, but (a) they usually don't know what they're doing and (b) our college is in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks for anything!
