You need to run checkdisk /r from your Windows DVD like so:
Windows 7 & Vista - Running Checkdisk from a Boot CD/DVD or Windows Desktop

Re: Start Up Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

It depends on whic type of damage you have done to the hard drive but I suspect you could reinstall Windows and fix all this or upgrade to a newer version. If you wind up formatting the drive you would lose all your files and data though.

Re: Start Up Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Hi, your first post references a registry problem, this is most often due to corruption in the c:\windows\system32\config folder, it holds many of your registry settings, it is easy to fix, however you need to be able to boot to safe mode and select the "repair your computer" option, OR use a copy of the windows OS dvd and boot from it selecting the "repair your computer" option there, and selecting cmd prompt.

If you can access safe mode OR borrow a copy of seven, post back and we will tell you how to fix it (only needs a couple of cmd's).

Re: Start Up Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

hi jenae
thanks for getting to me, it seems that i am able to access the recovery options but not able to launch safe mode, and the installation disks i have with my laptop seem to be locked to the system so i think they're out of the question.

and i have little experience with the command prompt so may need to be in layman's terms
thank you very much

Re: Start Up Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Hi, well if you do get into the RE (repair your computer) option, then you will need to click on command prompt, a dos like command prompt window will open and you will see a flashing cursor with x:\sources>

At the x:\sources> prompt type:- ( I will make the cmd's you type show here in red )

bcdedit | find "osdevice" (the | is called a "pipe" and can be found above the \ key on your keyboard, type the cmd exactly as you see here)

Press enter, it will return something like this:-

osdevice Partition C: (it may return another drive letter, it is this drive letter we need to use in the following cmd's, for this example we will assume C: , substitute C: for whatever you see when you run the above cmd, it will most likely be C

.

You will now be back at the x:\sources> prompt, now type:-

C:

Press enter, the flashing cursor will now be:- C:\>

At this type:-

cd C:\Windows\System32\Config (note there is a space after cd)

Press enter, the flashing cursor will now be:- C:\Windows\System32\Config>

At this type:-

cd RegBack

Press enter,the flashing cursor will now be:- C:\Windows\System32\Config\RegBack>

At this type:-

copy *.* c:\Windows\System32\config

Press enter, Restart computer.

NOTE:- In the RE you will not be able to see these instructions so print them out beforehand.

Re: Start Up Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Hi, well if you were able to run those cmd's and it has not fixed the problem, that is the only backup of the registry, from the RE again instead of selecting command prompt see if you can find a restore point before this happened, a long shot but worth a try.

Other then that you will need to reinstall windows, did you run any sort of system optimizers, registry cleaners, prior to this.
