Everything was working fine up to this point when I rebooted my computer today and now it's stuck in startup repair loop. Windows reaches the starting Windows screen and then it goes into startup repair. I scanned it with Malwarebytes right before I rebooted and no malware was detected.
I plugged the HDD into a different computer and it's not damaged and all files appear to be intact.
The problem details in the startup repair says:
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: 21198752
Problem signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem signature 06: 5
Problem signature 07: CorruptFile
OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1045
Diagnosis and repair details:
Number of repair attempts: 5
Session details:
System disk = \Device\Harddisk0
Windows directory = E:\Windows
AutoChk Run = 0
Number of root causes = 1
Root cause found:
Boot critical file E:\Windows\System32\drivers\sfsync02.sys is corrupt.
The thing about it is that it's a system drive C: so why does it say the drive letter is E:? Is that where the problem lies?
What could cause this? How do I fix it? Do I need to reinstall Windows?
Another thing is that Windows is not detecting USB ports when in startup repair and there's only one PS/2 port so I can't use both a mouse and a keyboard when trying to fix it.
Please help!
