Cannot Boot at All
So, my computer gets stuck at the spinning circle on boot. Nothing else happens.
I've tried doing a system restore via USB, but is unable to because it has some issue with the hard drive. It told me to run chkdsk c: /r. I did and it finished in about an hour. On the first stage, it said it deleted some corrupt thing and fixed windows files.
Still didn't boot.
I've tried doing the reset, keeping my files and it just says there was an error.
The last thing I've done on my computer was run CCleaner because it said I had 25 gigs to remove.
They were from the old Windows install. I don't think that caused it?
Another weird thing is that the last system restore was from yesterday. (This started yesterday when I turned my computer on.)
It was from 1pm, when I wasn't home and my computer was unplugged. Did it try to start and couldn't? It usually has some power left.
Going to Startup Repair gives me the C:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt issue.
The log claims there were no errors and that the OS booted fine. I can use the cmd from the Boot Manager, and then open notepad from there. I also see all of my files on the C: drive.
Any idea on how to fix this?
