The Operating System Variation Is Incompatible With Startup Repair

Jan 11, 2016

I have a laptop that was a Windows 7 Home Premium machine (HP dv6-2150us) that had an Windows 10 in place update performed on it a few months back (Nov 5, 2015). It had been running fine but recently had been randomly crashing. Two days ago, it crashed again and would boot to the "Startup Repair" mode attempt to run, then tell me "Startup Repair" couldn't repair your PC. and endlessly loop through that (if you told it to reboot) unless I went the Advanced Options.

I tried accessing Safe mode with and without networking, but not luck. I can get to the command prompt.
At one point it out of the blue it displayed the path to the "SrtTrail.txt" file which apparently is the log train for the "Startup Repair". The screwing thing is I check the date/time on the log file and each time the "Startup Repair" runs it does update the file whether it displays it on the screen. So apparently it could be random whether MS lets you know where to look for clues. Yeah MS!

Any way the I looked at the "SrtTrail.txt" and it states that the following pass.

"Check for Updates"
"System Disk Test" "
Disk Failure Diagnosis"
"Disk Metadata Test"
"Target OS Test"
"Volume Content Check"
and the Root cause found "The operating system variation is incompatible with Startup Repair"

I did a bit of Googling and found others with the same problem : [URL] .... But they did not have success in reviving the Machine

Any way of resolving the issue that would leave my programs intact? Is it as simple of having the correct BCD entry? If so, what the BCD entry should be the entry for a Windows 7 box that had a Windows 10 in place upgrade done?

The current entry in the boot record is

osdevice: partition=E:
Systemroot: windows
resumeobject: {3c5d113c-777-11e5-82d9-8199ff9a6bfc}
nx: Optin
boomenupolicy: Standard

[Code] ....

Infinite Loop On Startup Trying To Repair System

Aug 25, 2015

This afternoon my wife was doing something on the computer, got stuck, and rebooted. Once she rebooted a screen popped up into a repair diagnostic screen and said it was diagnosing the error to repair it. Only problem was that it didn't repair anything and the options that were available were all tried and nothing fixed this infinite loop issue. Luckily, I backed up my system with Acronis TrueImage so as we're speaking my PC is being restored. Windows 10...

Infinite Loop Of Startup Repair

Nov 1, 2015

So i found a possible repair on fixing the current situation o the infinite loop from this forum [URL].... around step 13 it said"If any one of them are 0 bytes, then you should stop what you're doing now and seek an alternative method of recovering your system, because Windows cannot function with a 0-byte size registry hive ". I have 0 as my "RegBack" values and i can't find an alternate .

Startup Repair Loop - Blue Screen

Sep 29, 2015

I've been using Windows 10 for few weeks now and it's been really good.

8GB Ram
1 TB Hard Disc
Asus Motherboard
i5 processor

Used the PC as I would normally do and shut it down last night. Recently installed the latest update for Win 10 as I recall. Otherwise no new changes or installation to the system.

So now when I switched it on its showing Automatic Startup Repair and it diagnose the PC but fails every time and shows a blue screen of startup repair where I can:-

- reset PC (reinstall but this fails at 36%)
- system restore or image restore ( but can't use either)
- startup repair (doesn't work either)
- command prompt (tried sfc/scannow and they won't allow me to do so unless I restart but keeps getting same error.

Tried unplugging the hard disc etc but same old loop again.

PC Reset And Now Have No Operating System

Aug 13, 2015

So I upgraded to Windows 10 last week, & after a few days decided I wanted to do the reset feature to have a nice clean install. I was also getting an annoying pop-up error that looked like some sort of malware, but virus & malware scans weren't getting rid of it.

Ok, so I do the reset, & opted for full clean not the quick one, just to make sure I got everything off there. It took quite a long time ( about 15-20 minutes per 1% progress), so I left it & came back later. When I got back I had an error message that said "There was a problem resetting your PC." with my only option being to click cancel. So I did. after that it brought me back to a reset screen, where I attempted to do the quick reset a few times, & it failed after a few percent each time.

At this point I decided to shut down & try again. When I booted back up I was greeted with the lovely message of "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press Crtl+Alt+Del to restart"...so my pc was wiped but the reinstall part failed somehow it seems, leaving me with nothing.

I created a bootable usb for Win10 from the Microsoft website, following their instructions to the letter. Installation seems to go fine ( Copying Windows files, Getting files ready for Installation etc). That screen finishes up & I get a Restarting in 10 Seconds screen. I let it restart & then I get stuck at a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner.

I have done some reading on this & tried everything I found, nothing has worked. I've let it sit, tried hitting Crtl to type password then hit Enter, I've unplugged my second monitor & any non essential USB devices, everything. I've tried installing multiple times, to the same result.

Also worth noting that I was unable to revert back to Win7. When I put my 7disc in I get a message saying "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk CD,DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now."

I've used this disc many times with no issue, & now I can't even reinstall 7?

During startup automatic repair launches, restart ensues, that's the loop. The error mssg is WDF violation which it seems is related to iTunes. I just can't get out of this loop to do anything about it. I don't have a boot disc. Safe mode is what I would like, but that doesn't work.

Installation :: Cannot Locate Operating System

Dec 31, 2015

My dell 7500 has windows 7(C: drive) and windows 10(F: drive) installed on the single internal HDD. It also has three USB disks used only for data. When I boot I get a message saying that an operating system cannot be found and I should try unplugging my USB drives and then reboot. When I unplug the USB drives and re boot, it finds the windows systems and finishes the boot process with no trouble.
Checking the BIOS shows only the CD-Rom drive and the three USB drives are listed in the boot order and the drive listing. I then deactivated the "boot from USB drives" item in my BIOS and then the computer boots fine.

Also, I have been experimenting with Ubuntu on a USB pen drive but have removed it. I suspect that there are some parts of grub hanging around.
