startup repair offline no root cause Windows 7 Ult

I had the same problem and I figured out it was because when motherboard lost the SETUP settings, it changed HD protocol to default, which is different from the protocol it was when it was formatted. It was formatted as AHCI and the default SATA Protocol is Native IDE.

Sometimes the same problem is presented under the message 0x00000c25

Hi,

1.      What is the exact issue you are facing?

2.      What is the reason you are performing startup repair?

3.      Are you able to boot to the desktop?

Please provide us more information on this issue in order to assist you better.

Hi,

References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

This is a serious error and "may" not be repairable without professional tech support from

a real computer shop (not leeks and peeks at a BestBuy or other BigBox Stores) or your

System maker's Support.

Go into Setup/Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you boot so watch screen as you startup.

Set the boot order to CD/DVD to use Windows 7 disks. Remember to set back when done.

With a Windows 7 or Repair disk try Startup Repair - (the possible fixes are same as these

though the titles are named differently.)

Here are the troubleshooting methods to try to fix the issue :

Try Startup Repair - (If at ANY point you gain some but not full access to Windows come

back and try Startup Repair again.)

==========================================================

If you do not have a Windows 7 disk you can borrow a friends as they are not copy

protected. Your System maker will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already

own Windows. Also you can make a repair disk on another computer.

**If you need to make repair disks - these help repair Windows not re-install.**Often a these disks will help when the OEM Recovery Disk does not.

Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs - now charging $9.75 for the ISO

images to make the disks. (These can be made on any computer running XP,

Vista, or Window 7 that has a CD/DVD burner.)

These "may" help :

Also from the COMMAND PROMPT of Recovery Console (if possible) or a Windows 7 disk

SFC /scannow

Hit Enter

and after that runs

chkdsk /f /r

Hit Enter

( Spaces between C and /   k and /  and f and / )

Retry Startup Repair after Chkdsk.

If needed after those you can retry System Restore from the Recovery or Windows 7 disk.
