Windows 10 getting "Automatic repairing" and "diagnosing PC" messages
I am in desperate need of help! First, I normally do back up, but my back up drive and recovery disks were stolen about 2 weeks ago while we were moving and I had not bought a new backup since.
System is configured as:
Lenovo T520
mSata (primary drive)
SSD for 2nd and 3rd drive.
I have many pieces of software some very complicated to reinstall (and many of the original disks were stolen like Chief Architect and some of my 3d cad software) , and have many accounts (I run several businesses) for email so I DON'T want to "clean" install.
I DO still have all of my data, so that is at least not too bad.
History is that yesterday, I lost access to my networks, and could not reconnect to get internet connections. I tried powering down and the computer was taking over 5 minutes (no messages about updating)
So I powered down with the power button.
After that, I tried to re-power the computer and I got a message "preparing to automatically repair" and then it went into Diagnosing this PC.
I have tried to go to a previous restore point to no avail (goes through all of the steps, but after finishing, says it was not able to and that the process made no changes.
I have tried rebooting using the Advanced Options and was given me the choice of sever things and tried Safeboot (I could boot to Safe Mode with command, but no other options worked)
I tried booting off of my first SSD, as this was on old boot drive, but it did not boot, said "inaccessible boot" (I may have formatted after I installed the mSata, but I thought I let it.)
I have since purchased a new HDD, and have removed the 2 SSDs. I have installed Win 10 (clean, non OEM version) onto this new drive.
I can BOOT into Win 10 and see my mSATA and all looks OK. I have chkdsk /f /x /r and it spent all night doing stuff (mostly in the finding bad blocks portion, but in the end said no errors found. )
I am looking for help on how I can FIX my old boot drive.
Thanks in advance!
