Trying to repair with Windows 10
Hello all
Last September I had to replace my pc. I bought one that had Windows 10 Home installed. I had them install an SSD boot disk and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to replace the Windows 10. The SSD contains 2 partitions, 100Mb labelled System Reserved (NTFS) (Used 24%) and the C: drive, 117Gb (NTFS) (Used 65%). The original C: drive is now D: containing 4 partitions, 400Mb Recovery (NTFS) (Used 74%), 100Mb (FAT32) (Used 29%), (Other) 16MB and D: 1862.4 GB (NTFS) (Used 7%), this holds most of my programs. The Recovery partition I have now discovered seems to hold information for Windows 10. Yesterday afternoon (Sept 16th) my pc froze and the only way I could do anything was to press the 'hot restart' button. The pc started, but I was greeted with the information that there was a problem and the system had to be repaired. I then received a Windows 10 splash screen and was told that my pc was being diagnosed, followed by a screen stating that the system could not be repaired. There was an option for Advanced Options, which I selected. On the Advanced Options screen I have a few options, but the only one through which I can reboot is Continue and Exit to Windows 10. I select this and after a few seconds my mobo splash screen appears. I then select F12 for boot options, followed by Esc and my pc then boots into Windows 7. I have to follow the above rigmarole every time I want to boot. Can anyone advise me what, if anything, I can do about this state of affairs? I have found the Windows event log entries for about the time of the freeze and they are zipped into a file on Dropbox, link https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6cm2b4kdl...rrors.zip?dl=0 Would it be best to replace the Recovery partition with one for Windows 7? Is this even possible ? Should I ask the pc supplier to do this? (Local specialist pc builder/suppliers) Can I stop it trying to repair? Any advice gratefully received. -- remove fred before emailing |
