Hello Everyone... Seems I got myself into another quest for an answer in an area that I only know enough to be dangerous.
I just offered to help a female friend with he son's Gateway MS-2285 Laptop with Windows Home installed. I should have known better since I know absolutely zero about Windows 7 because I am trapped in the Windows XP-Pro era. The laptop will not boot. It starts up with a program that indicates there is something wrong and Windows 7 Setup & Repair will check the system. After checking, it comes up with the message... "Setup and Repair Can Not Repair This Computer Automatically". It then lists the following... Problem Event Name: Startup repair off-line. Problem Signature 01: b.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 02: b.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 03: unknown Problem Signature 04: 21201000 Problem Signature 05: Auto Failover Problem Signature 06: 12 Problem Signature 07: Corrupt File OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 The diagnosis and repair log says the following: "Startup Repair-several times. Can not determine cause. At this point the computer locks up and must be shut down. Can anyone offer any ideas or suggestions to bail out my a** from having to tell the lady friend I can't help?
