Damaged Window 7 will trying to install Windows 10
The programming got stuck while “Getting updates". After waiting 4 or 5 hours, before I knew about this Forum, I searched Google, which brought me to try a “clean boot” following the Microsoft steps from this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
That failed. A restart window did not appear, so I forced a restart from the start menu. Now, Windows won’t open for longer than ~100 seconds before the blue system-protection screen takes over and shuts down the PC.
I can open in Safe Mode, but I have not been able to get System restore to work.
I keep getting this Error:
“System Restore does not appear to be functioning correctly on this system. A Volume Copy Shadow Service component encountered an unexpected error. Check the application event log for more information. (0x80042302)
Tracing this error down seems futile and very time consuming.
I’d like to:
1. Run Windows 10 Upgrade App in Safe Mode.
2. Wipe a Hard Drive Clean and install windows 10 from scratch.
3. Try to get System Restore to work.
Any help in one of these directions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
