Hey guys, I saw another thread for this same issue, but after reading it, I determined that the particular problem described in that thread is probably not as complex as what I am experiencing. I'll try to explain it the best I can below:
*I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT TWO DAYS AGO, I DID NOTICE A PRETTY SHAKE EXPERIENCE WHEN DOING HOMEWORK, GOOGLE CHROME PAGE CONSTANTLY BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE AND A POPUP FROM ADOBE ASKING IF IT COULD "RECORD INFORMATION" ... I ALLOWED
Last night, I went to boot up my PC and after 3 failed startups, I launched into the Automatic Repair interface.
I first allowed Windows to attempt to automatically diagnose and repair the problem, but to no avail.
I then entered command prompt and entered the following operations, all to no avail:
•bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
•bootrec.exe /fixmbr
•bootrec.exe /fixboot
•chkdsk /r c:
•chkdsk /r e: (c: is SSD boot drive, e: is HDD)
After another failed reboot, I attempted to restore to previous system backup, but Windows informed me that there were no recently recorded backups. I then attempted to restore to previous upgrade, but there was an error and Windows could not restore to previous upgrade.
THEN, I went into command prompt and attempted to restore a corrupted Windows registry, and entered the following, to no avail (was told that "no pathways were found"):
•copy c:\windows\system32\config\RegBack\* c:\windows\system32\config
I THEN tried to delete a problematic file, and entered the following into command prompt (again, no pathways were found):
•C:
•cd Windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt
Finally, I tried to boot into safe mode, which couldn't even boot.
As a last resort, I went to completely reset my PC, and using the "keep my files" option, I got to 3% and was told that "Your PC cannot be reset." After that, I selected the "Recycle all of my Drives" option and let it run overnight (was working at a rate of about 2% per 15 minutes). I woke up to the same "Your PC cannot be reset" error.
Here's where I stand:
I have two drives that are half-wiped. I can't boot into anything other than the "preparing automatic repair" interface. I have a buddy of mine who interns at Google who is also double-majoring in Computer Science and Engineering / Electrical and Computer Engineering and his best suggestion was to download GParted Live as the Linux OS to a USB, and then boot into the USB from BIOS and try to run GParted to diagnose and fix my drives. That's currently what I'm going to try.
Does anyone have any other ideas??? I'm so lost as to how a problem so fatal manages to happen overnight.
Thanks,
Hubes
