[04:33:21] Juggernaut667 > sup paul
[04:33:30] Paul Tagg > got time for it questions?
[04:33:40] Juggernaut667 > sure
[04:34:07] Paul Tagg > im fairly confident i removed all the virus's from the harddrive
[04:34:34] Paul Tagg > but its now autorestarting rightbefore the logon screen
[04:34:55] Juggernaut667 > okay, that's the boot partition then
[04:35:01] Paul Tagg > as in you see the windows icon, that animates, and then restarts
[04:35:05] Juggernaut667 > you need to run startup repair from the win 7 disc
[04:35:15] Paul Tagg > it doesnt work though
[04:35:30] Paul Tagg > it keeps saying nothing is wrong
[04:35:50] Juggernaut667 > okay, then try running it manually
[04:36:35] Juggernaut667 > put the win7 disc in and get to WinRE, and then choose to repair the computer, at the screen with the "startup repair" option should also be a command prompt icon at the bottom
[04:36:46] Paul Tagg > whats the command, the bootmbr command doesnt work
[04:36:59] Paul Tagg > the one you used for xp doesnt work with 7
[04:37:15] Juggernaut667 > no, this is a method i've used for 7 also
[04:37:41] Juggernaut667 > from here, you should be able to start Diskpart and view all the partitions and volumes on the drive
[04:37:58] Juggernaut667 > make sure that the correct volume is active and labeled as C:
[04:38:04] Juggernaut667 > exit diskpart
[04:39:20] Juggernaut667 > then run bootrec.exe
[04:39:40] Juggernaut667 > if you just run bootrec.exe, you should be presented with options for what you want to repair
[04:39:51] Juggernaut667 > they'll be command line modifiers
[04:40:07] Juggernaut667 > so, for the bcd, you'd type "bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd"
[04:40:52] Juggernaut667 > you may have to run this utility a few times to find out exactly what's wrong
[04:41:05] Juggernaut667 > you can also run bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[04:41:21] Juggernaut667 > but if you see anything starting to boot, that's probably not the issue
[04:41:31] Juggernaut667 > there's an option for bootrec.exe /fixboot
[04:41:47] Juggernaut667 > that might be the one you want, as there's something obviously wrong with the boot partition
[04:42:26] Paul Tagg > ok its booting into the cd right now,
[04:42:46] Juggernaut667 > and if all else fails, copy everything off the drive, format the disk and reinstall windows fresh
[04:43:08] Paul Tagg > whats nice is they gave me the drivers disc
[04:43:23] Juggernaut667 > at a certain point, you have to cut your losses, as every problem isn't fixable, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and start over
[04:43:33] Paul Tagg > but space is a premium right now, on my discs, and i know
[04:43:53] Juggernaut667 > i'd run all of the bootrec.exe commands, and if that all fails, copy everything you can off and reinstall
[04:44:22] Juggernaut667 > if you can't get the files off, you can use Diskpart to create an additional partition on the drive
[04:44:49] Juggernaut667 > and then reinstall windows on the new partition and pull the files over from the other one once you've got it up and running
[04:45:16] Paul Tagg > so sort of like mass copy paste
[04:45:33] Juggernaut667 > yeah. if you can't fix it that's what you'll have to do.
[04:45:44] Juggernaut667 > if you've got room off the drive, definately get the files off the drive first
[04:45:56] Juggernaut667 > if you absolutely can't do that, create a new partition
[04:46:21] Juggernaut667 > the reason not to do the paritition if you don't have to is that there are a lot of ways that can go bad through no fault of your own
[04:46:26] Juggernaut667 > then you lose the old files
[04:50:27] Paul Tagg > thanks for the help jug
[04:50:36] Juggernaut667 > any time
[04:51:28] Paul Tagg > now to wait for it to do the startuprepair bs
[04:51:37] Paul Tagg > which will take 40 minutes
