Help!! I’m stuck in repair loop and have tried every known possible solution and option from command prompts and system factory reset everything on advanced options menu does not work and I have bad system config info code error
Copy your data to an external drive or another computer/nas.
Insert the usb or cd/dvd and boot your system. You may have to change bios settings to boot from the usb or cd/dvd(every computer is different) We can help with this.
When the computer boots choose TRY UBUNTU and let the system boot.
When booted look on the left-hand side of the screen and click on Files icon
Then click on Other Locations
Click on your drive for example Win 7
Click on Users Icon
Click on your name listed under users
You should now see your data e.g Documents Pictures etc.
Copy your data to an external drive or another computer/nas.
When finished Click on the shutdown icon in the top right-hand corner Click on Power Off
After you get the data it might be best to do a fresh install of windows
I will give instructions if you need them
I agree. If you need to copy/backup data files use the linux live usb. Before attempting to install windows, I would test the hard drive. You can test the drive with the drive mfg's diagnostic. This can also run from bootable media ie usb or CD.
On a modern system, it takes <10min to install win10. Another hour or so to install your software, drivers, etc and you are done. You could spend a LOT of time attempting to fix this system OR just clean install and be done.

Before doing any install, it is a good idea to go to the support page for your system. Download the drivers you are going to need ie chipset, sound, video, wireless, etc. While win10 has a lot of native drivers, microsoft drivers are designed for ease of use and are NOT designed for any type of performance. Store these drivers on another usb or you can even just make a folder on your install usb when you are finished making the install usb. Copy the drivers into that folder.
When you are finished with the install, then install your drivers. Install the chipset first then the rest of them. Reboot each time when prompted.
