(Feel free to move this post if it belongs elsewhere)
Quick summary of events:
1. The power went out (I wasn't home)
2. I use a surge protector that is grounded and both lights are and were still functioning (http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=SPP3060F/17&hlt=Link_Overview&scy=MX&slg=AEN)
3. The computer turns on, goes to the Microsoft logo where it says starting windows (windows 7), and gets stuck there for half a minute. Eventually it opens a blue screen (not sure what it says), then reboots , and gives me this screen: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/library/BUSINESS/ATLAS/images_v1/351886/boot-error1-small.jpg
4. As it launches into startup repair (starting windows normally just sends it into a bootloop), it searches for a problem, and then says it cannot repair this computer automatically. Here are the problem details
"Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21200528
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 6
Problem Signature 07: CorruptRegistry
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033"
5. I have tried viewing the advances options, which allow me to open startup repair, system rerstore, system image recovery, windows memory diagnostic, command prompt, recovery management. I have tried the memory diagnostic (no problems found) and the system restore
The following error shows up when i try to system restore to a previous point:
"System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.
DETAILS:
System restore failed while mounting the registry from the restore point. There was a disk failure during the restore. This might be caused by bad sectors on disk, Run chkdsk /R on this disk and then try running System Restore again.
You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point..etc etc"
I tried to provide all the information that I could, any help would be appreciated!
