Causes of this error
This error has been known to occur as a result of one or more of the following:
Cause #1: Damaged or corrupted BCD settings
Bootsector viruses and other malware that targets the bootloader or the booting chain can cause errors in the bootloader settings and state that result in an infinite loop of Startup Repair.
The virus may then block Startup Repair from either launching or carrying out its repairs successfully. A failed Windows Update or Automatic Update can also sometimes leave the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) in an inconsistent or non-working state.
Cause #2: Corrupted boot partition
On Windows 7 and above, Windows by default creates a separate 100 MiB NTFS partition at the start of the drive, reserved for core bootloader files and BCD configuration.
An unsafe shutdown, sudden power loss, hard disk failure, or a blue screen of death during writes to the boot partition can leave your system in an inconsistent state, unable to boot and infinitely cycling into the Startup Repair.
Cause #3: Blue Screen of Death on reboot
It is possible that every other time Windows attempts to boot, a BSOD occurs.
Recent versions of Windows are configured to hide this fact from the user and silently reboot.
(In the experience of the researchers at NeoSmart Technologies, there is almost never a good reason for doing this. Microsoft is hoping that a reboot will fix your PC and so Windows decides to hide the blue screen and reboot, endlessly and in vain.
A much more intelligent solution would be for Windows to keep track of whether or not this blue screen resulted in a silent and automatic reboot last time, and if so, show it so the user can see what’s going on.)
A BSOD during boot up will trigger a version of the Advanced Boot Options menu to be shown on next reboot prompting the user to select “Repair Your Computer,” ultimately causing the endless loop of Startup Repair.

Fixes for Infinite Loop of Startup Repair on Windows Vista, 7
Windows Setup CD/DVD Required!
Some of the solutions below require the use of the Microsoft Windows setup CD or DVD. If your PC did not come with a Windows installation disc or if you no longer have your Windows setup media, you can use Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows instead. EasyRE will automatically find and fix many problems, and can also be used to solve this problem with the directions below.
Fix #1: Run chkdsk on the boot volume
The command line chkdsk tool ships with Windows and can be used to check (and sometimes repair) your drives for filesystem corruption. More information about how chkdsk operates and how it works can be found in our knowledgebase. The following steps will launch the command line option from Startup Repair on the Windows setup disc and use the chkdsk utility.
Unable to boot into the Windows setup CD?
See our guide on setting up a PC to boot from the CD or DVD for troubleshooting and more detailed instructions.
- Insert your Windows installation DVD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive,
- Fully power down your PC, and make sure it has fully shut off,
- Power up your PC,
- Press any key when you see “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..”
- Click the link titled “Repair your computer” in the bottom-lefthand corner, after first selecting your language and keyboard options.
7.Choose “Command Prompt” from the list of available recovery options to begin
Once the command prompt is launched, enter the following to use the System File Checker to check your installation for corrupted, invalid, or deleted system files. If the previous page showed that your Windows installation has a drive letter other than C:\, make sure to use that below!
chkdsk C: /f
chkdsk will begin scanning your drive for problems, fixing them if it is able to, and reporting its progress when done.
Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Windows 7.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)...
259072 file records processed.
....
Windows has finished checking your disk.
Fix #2: Disable Automatic Restart
This option lets you get the exact and complete error message accompanying the Blue Screen of Death by disabling the Automatic Restart option of Windows. Note: this will not fix the boot error you are experiencing in and of itself, but should provide more information that may prove critical in solving the underlying problem.
The option to disable automatic restart on system failure is available from the Advanced Boot Options menu at startup. The instructions below will trigger this behavior, more detailed instructions on disabling automatic restart on system failure are also available in our knowledgebase.
Restart your computer
Wait for your BIOS to complete POST (the screen with your manufacturer logo and/or system information)
Quickly begin tapping F8 repeatedly, until you see the list of boot options
Choose “Disable automatic restart on system failure”
Press Enter and wait for your PC to boot.
Fix #3: Manually attempt to rebuild the BCD
Problems booting up Windows can often be traced back to errors in the bootloader installation or configuration. Rebuilding your PC’s master boot record (MBR), partition bootsectors, and boot configuration data (BCD) can fix various problems with the BOOTMGR bootloader.
You can rebuild the BCD using bootrec.exe, a tool built found in the Windows Recovery Environment. Follow these steps:
Insert your Windows installation DVD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive,
Fully power down your PC, and make sure it has fully shut off,
Power up your PC,
Press any key when you see “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..”
Click the link titled “Repair your computer” in the bottom-lefthand corner, after first selecting your language and keyboard options.
Wait for Startup Repair to scan your PC for Windows installations, then select your install from the list it shows:
Choose “Command Prompt” from the list of available recovery options to begin:
Once the command line has launched, type in the following commands in the Command Prompt and hit Enter after each command
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Unable to boot into the Windows setup CD?
See our guide on setting up a PC to boot from the CD or DVD for troubleshooting and more detailed instructions.
BCD not getting rebuilt?
There is an entire entry in our wiki dedicated to advanced manual repair of the bootloader that can also be followed, if necessary.
