Question by Ashley: My Dell insprion N5010 windows 7 Starup repair takes more than an hour? HELP?!?!?
ok i haven’t had this laptop of r even a month yet and i know its not a virus im sure of it… when i turn it on it says start windows normally or windows start up repair so i click the start windows normally but restarts and comes up again then i do start up repair which takes me to a black screen for 2-3 minutes then to a blue screen that has a Grey box that says start up repair is checking ur system for updates:

if problems found, start up repair will fix them automatically. your computer might restart several times during this process.

No changes will be made to your personal files or information. This might take several minutes…. then under is this bar of something loading is says attempting repairs under that says repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete….

The thing is i can leave it for more than 5 hours and it does nothing… it just stays like that… and i need to use my lap top asap i don’t have the order number and i called dell so they couldn’t help… i have the dell drivers and utilities cd rom and the Microsoft works 9

One day i left it on for like 7-8 hours with the laptop being charged to see if the start up repair will go away and the laptop was really HOT but yeah then i turned it off for like 5 hours nd turned it back on same thing….

i tried doing F12 safe mode but still goes back to the same place as it restarts and idk wat to do… PLEASE HELP!

This may differ from pc to pc. Start the computer and click startup repair. If you can try to get CMD (Command Prompt) and type in chkdsk /r and restart. That should check the disc for Bad Sectors and alert you. If there is a problem you may need to replace the Hard Drive. Do not start a scan if a thunderstorm is expected and you are subject to power failures. I also strongly advise an uninterruptible power supply to guard against short-term power outages or fluctuations.

Hope This Helps
