| Hi all,
I have a problem with my laptop since this morning! I wanted to start it up as normally but it didnt want to start windos well, there was just a blue screen with a window "SETUP REPAIR" i have tried to solve it on my own but im not really into that suff , so now when i run my laptop it runs automatically START UP REPAIR and try to repair it but finally there just shows up a windos saying "Start Up cannot repair this computer automatically" . I aslo tried to start it from Advanced Boot Options and there is select "repair your computer" then there is a window saying SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS i select a language and clikc NEXT then "to acces recovery options, log on as a local user" and " to acces the command prompt as well, log using an administrator account" so i select administrator account and click ok and it says something like that "Your account has been disabled. Please see ur sysmtem administraor" but then i select my user name i clikc ok and it goes on to SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS and there i can choose a recovery tool , the operatin system is Microsof Windows vista on (C acer and ive tried to do startup repair or system restore (it doesnt find a restore point" and there is a still a problem that it cant repair it automactially!
I REALLY need help with that! is there anyone how could tell me step by step how to make it work! i have very important files on my laptop and all stuff like photos, documents, ect...i really dont wanna install new software which will delete all the files!
ahhh....i have just notice that when i did starup repait last time it showed me message like this "if u have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera o portable music player, remove it and restart your computer, If u continue te see this message, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance
also i was advised to use some program to get all my data and re-iinstal system, but i still hope that someone can find other solution for my problem, much easier?
PS: sorry for some english mistakes, its not my mother tongue |

| From the messages you're getting, it looks like you had some external device plugged into it at one point and you removed that without doing a "safe shutdown" first. So, now, Vista thinks the device is still plugged in but it can't find it during startup, so it shuts down and prompts you to run Startup Repair.
If you simply can't get Startup Repair to work, and it appears you have no restore points, your only recourse at this point is to reinstall your machine from scratch -- which will wipe out all your files.
So, before you do that, read the pinned post we have about using Ubuntu to recover your files. That will provide you a way to save your files to an external drive/USB stick so that when you reinstall, you will not lose all your data.
As to the reinstall, you said this was an ACER box. Either they included a restore CD or they have a way to boot to a recovery partition. You would have to check the manual that came with the PC to find out which is the case.
If it's still under warranty, you may be able to get ACER to do the restore for you. You would need to save off your stuff first, and then check with them to see what options they will provide you.
