We still have some options.

 

Firstly though, if our remaining attempts don't work, things may be at the point where are reformat is needed or even, where the hard drive is failing.

 

So, my question is, do you have a backup of your data?

 

Edit

 

I overlooked answering you question about status 50.

 

I am not a techie but the information at the link below explains:

Firstly, I'm not sure that I agree with the thought that you're "not a techie", but I'd have to know your definition of the term.

 

Anyway, please explain what "our remaining attempts" are.

 

Do I have a backup of my data? Like most people who get careless with our computers, no, I don't. Not directly anyway. Given how long I've been using them, you'd think I would know better.

 

Now, as to what I meant with that cryptic statement. A friend lent me a copy of Spotmau Boot Suite. This is essentially Windows PE with disk tools. I hope this will expand our options. I booted the machine on this utility. I have established a connection to the 1 TB drive attached to my router (a network share). I can read the contents of my C:\ partition without difficulty using Explorer. So, I can now transfer anything I want to the share. This utility has the Computer Management\Device Management plug ins, and a lot more Microsoft tools. I checked under Computer Management\Disk Management and it reports that the C:\ partition is Healthy (Active, Primary Partition). I can run Chkdsk, Defrag, Cleanup, Regedit, etc. from the CD.

 

I'm thinking of running chkdsk first, then disk cleanup and defrag. Since I can search\edit the registry, I can make any changes necessary there.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks,

Tom

Sorry, I forgot to thank you for the link about 'status 50'. Interesting that one of the possible causes of the file corruption could be a trojan. Something I had suspected.

Anyway, please explain what "our remaining attempts" are.

 

  1. Remove as much as we can of AVAST. Sometimes a program can get corrupted and be the cause of the problem. Perhaps some malware that got caught by AVAST but left behind corruption... Removing it can sometimes allow us to run tools to fix the damage.
  2. We could try a regback using FRST backup which might be an outside chance if the corruption is confined to the registry. I don't think that likely to work but you never know.
  3. Run Chkdsk again. Sometimes it needs to be run two or three times to finish it's job.
  4. Run System File Checker to fix corrupted system files

My purpose in asking if you had a backup was to find out if I needed to provide you with the tools to backup your data before trying the actions described above. If, for example, your hard disk is getting ready to fail, then we might not get through the actions without further corruption, even to the point of not being able to recover data.

 

It seems though, that you already have found a way to access what you need.

 

Would you like to backup what you want before I give you further instructions?

emeraldnzl,

 

I spent about 5 hrs in totoal today with the PC.

 

I ran chkdsk again. Same result.

I moved some files, but I can still move more.

I tried to run sfc, but it wouldn't run. The message said that there was a pending repair. I guess that's my fault for shutting the PC down too soon.

I ran System Repair. The results are shown in the 2 attached files.

 

5739 StartupRepair2.JPG 5738 StartupRepair1.JPG

 

I rebooted the PC and StartupRepair started again.

 

Thanks,

Tom

 

PS. Would using the original CD help in any way?

My question is, have you been able to back up your files? Running Chkdsk again before doing that risks chkdsk itself removing data you may want.

 

If you have your backups then let's see a fresh FRST scan before we do anything else.

This script is specifically written for the infection on this person's computer. It should NOT to be used on another machine. It may cause serious damage even to the point of rendering the computer unusable.

Please enter System Recovery Options, as we've done previously.
Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.

 

 

After that

 

Try booting to Systems Recovery and running Startup Repair

 

Come back and tell me how it went.

Then, booted to System Recovery/Startup Repair. It looked like the system was actually going to start!!! Windows splash screen and all. But, alas, it went back and ran Startup Repair again.

 

Results of the most recent Startup Repair are attached.

 

Thanks,

Tom

Okay my mistake I posted instructions forgetting you can't boot to your desktop. What we want to do is check your hard drive.

I think this one will work on most hard drives. I understand that these tests are not completely reliable but it might be enough to tell you what you need to know.

Here are some instructions to test that.

Go to Sea Tools for Dos tutorial for tutorial instructions.

Click on Seatools to download the tool.

Save the download to your desktop of the computer you are using.

In Windows 7 right click the ISO file, select Open With, then select Windows Disc Image Burning Tool then follow the prompts.
For all other versions of windows (if you do not have an ISO burner) download this free software. ImgBurn Install the program and start the application. Select the top left hand option to Write image file to disc and then on the next window click on the small yellow folder icon and browse to the ISO file on your desktop. Then click on the two grey discs with the arrow in between (bottom left) and leave it to complete the operation.

You will need a blank recordable CD or a re-recordable CD. You cannot use this software on a USB flash drive.

When the CD has been burned boot the sick PC into the Bios setup and set the CD/DVD drive to 1st in the boot sequence Bios Boot Order Guide. Insert the disk in the drive then reboot and the disc will load into DOS. Click on Basic Tests and select the Long Test.

A full set of instructions can be found here: Seatools instructions

When the test completes it will show a Pass or Fail.

 

Tell me the result.

emeraldnzl,

 

I assume I will be using the 'Long Test'. Is that correct?

 

Is this test destructive?

 

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, for all the effort you are going to, we want to get the best information we can.

 

 

Is this test destructive?

 

I haven't had that happen with anyone before but if a hard drive is failing then I believe that is always a risk. Another reason why you should backup what you can before hand.

I think you said you were able to access your data but if I have that wrong I can give you some instructions to create a Puppy Linux disk which should help you access your data if the hard disk is not completely corrupted.

emeraldnzl,

 

OK, ran SeaTools/Long Test.

Results attached.

Was it the 0x45d Error code which caused you to suspect the drive?

 

Thanks,

Tom

That together with the problems running Chkdsk. I thought it the most likely possibility but it wasn't the only one.
 
Next thing to try

I think you said at one point that you had the Windows Installation Disk for that computer.

Assuming you have, put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer

  • Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click next.
  • Click Repair your computer.
  • Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  • In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
  • Type in the following command

Bootrec.exe

Press Enter

Tell me how it goes.
