|
|
Whenever I try to start my computer up, it takes me to this screen where I have to use this start up repair thing.
I let it run, and it says that I have to remove any music player or hard drive I have. I remove my hard drive and iPod, and then I restart it, and get the same thing.
I don't want to system restore, unless I have to.
Is there a fix for this?
Edit: I can't boot into safe mode either, I get the same thing. _________________

don't format just yet, try a repair using your CD or install windows again on top of an existing install. _________________

I don't think OP was trying to use the OS disk's repair function, something separate that started when booting from HDD.
Like Sup3r said, try repairing the Windows installation. |

I think he meant he removed his ExternalHarddrive...
Can you take a picture of the screen... _________________
