![]() ![]() This boot immediately gave up an error: The Boot Configureation for your PC is missing or contains errors. After fiddling with the F12 boot options, I told the Dell to boot from a 2nd Win partition that it recognized since the first was continuously dropping me back into Repair Disk limbo. So since I couldn't make the laptop more dead than it already was, I peformed a full restore (I had poked and prodded a bit with both Tech Supports) to reestablish a baseline and started a more in-depth dive. Explaining all of this, minus the built-in Windows Repair Disk partition since I didn't know what it was by name, the support fellow said "Create a Windows Repair Disk, do a repair and have a nice day!" Dell tech support had an equal level of insight. Since I had two days of support left for my Acronis 2016 - timing is everything, isn't it? - I fired up a chat with Acronis Support. Having never had the need to use a Windows 10 Repair Disk, I didn't recognize it for what it was. but upon performing a successful restore, I found myself unknowingly booting into Dell's preconfigured Windows Repair Disk partition. I had made a full backup of both drives a month earlier (like I said, backups are nice to have). It's nice to have backups.ħ months later the Seagate drive died. In doing so, it duplicated the restore image and Windows Repair disk image too. I used Acronis TrueImage 2016 to clone the Seagate drive (now D) to the SSD drive (the new C). When I bought the laptop new, I had opted to install the faster/smaller 500gb M.2 SSD drive. As the specs in my original post states, the laptop originally came with a plain (and rather doggy) Seagate 1tb SATA drive. ![]() I'll try to record them here as best I can in case anyone else finds themselves in this particular rabit hole.įirst a little background. Ok - I fixed it but made a series of discoveries along the way. What can I do to get past this "preparing automatic repair" dead-end cycle? Please Help!! When this boot-loop started, I restored the whole system and still nothing but "Preparing automatic Repair". The first time I restored the system, I just restored the D drive. No automatic option seems to cure this repeating boot-loop. However when I rebooted, Windows 10 anounces "Preparing automatic repair" and drops me into a "Choose an Option" screen. Good thing since the 1T drive died on 8/7. I had created a TI-2016 backup image of the whole system in 6/25. IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller: Intell 100 Series.c230 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller.I added the M.2 drive when I bought the laptop.
