Windows 7 Startup Repair

A painful thing which can be touch to get rid of.

This thread talks about some possible solutions:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/139576-startup-repair-infinite-loop-recovery.html

In essence you allow a repair, and when it fails you make a copy of the reg files (system32\comfig) and then copy in the files from regback. Then reboot, and let it run though the repair 3 TIMES.

The operator at a site I dealt with also used a system recovery point back a week or so, and then further back. And I did one of those also.

Later i ran diskpart and set some volumes (or partitions) active, and then startup repair on one of those did take a ahile and went through the 2nd repair for quite ahwile, but the failed as usual on the third.

Later I did the bootrec /fixboot

and /fixmbr
and /RebuildBcd

which worked.

Covad etc

So this may explain some of my contusion between MP and TP.

Megapth bought Speakeasy, and then Covad.

But the wireless part of Covad was apparently picked up by Telepacific.

Linksys Router or Gateway Mode

Good review of this feature can work (or not work):

Hint: use gateway mode if the box actually conencts to the internet. If for a secondary router, set to 'router' mode and do not use the WAN connector.

Also, this setting if your box has it, should be under Advanced Routing.
