Windows 7 keeps booting to the recovery manager
Hi All,
I have got a laptop which keeps booting into the recovery manager of Windows 7. Nothing works and it cannot auto fix the problem. I triend almost everthing, also booting to Safe mode, Last know good config and so on. So I took out the disk an scanned the disk with a PC. It found and disinfected a virus. Put it back in the laptop, still the same.
Anyone any idea?

since you found a virus, there may be more
scanning from another PC does not help, you need to be booted from it for the scanners to work properly

Hi Nobus,
scanning from another PC always helps, because offcourse the virus and spyware needs to be removed and a scanner does exactly that. It also worked, because the virus is now gone. Offcourse you need to pay attention to if it disinfects or removes the file, it may be startup files of the OS. An offline scan from a boot is in fact the same, but more work / more complecated and the hardware around the infected harddrive is not important for removing the virus / spyware. So attaching it to another working PC with the right tools works great.

Hi Azz Moh,
bootrec will not work, because Windows DOES boot, there is no error like: no os found / bootmgr missing / etc. etc. Windows boots, BUT goes to recovery console. The problem therefore is elsewhere.

Please do the following to fix it

3.Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4.Click Repair your computer.
5.Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
