:welcome:   Superbad189,

 

It is possible that the CMOS battery has failed and needs to be replaced,

 

Please provide information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the MB,  providing these details will enable us to better assist you.

Your Windows disk has a boot repair on it, have you tried this? You will have to boot from CD to get to it. Try the battery first. That is excellent advice.

This generally indicates a bios issue. As indicated most likely something is fubar in the bios or the bios battery is dead.

But usually a dead battery will set the bios to default with the date and time way off and you usually get the "hit F1 to continue" on the screen.

 

You are getting help Here: https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/windows-7-boot-issue/ 

You need to decide where you want to get help from because both locations can contradict each other. In this case the moderator on the other forum pretty much gave you the same advice here.

 

Please get us the info requested in #2 so we can guide you better.

Thanks for the heads up 123Runner  :thumbsup:

 

Being that the thread is nigh on two months old and the OP has yet to reply I suspect that we can safely close this thread so as to avoid any possible confusion between who`s and what guidance should be followed.
