Windows 7 problems after serious pc crash

[149047]

hi everyone!
my pc system is recovering from a serious crash resulting from a partition chaos (i happened to have been the cause )
so - the pc boots again ... BUT, there are some issues i would be happy to find answers for in this forum:

1) windows 7 boots ... then goes into "starting desktop" and then remains on a light blue screen with the windows 7 build (7100) information in the lower right corner (& something like: "the authenticity of this version has not been validated yet"). nothing else. after waking up from "energy save" mode, the proper user selection tab appeared but when i clicked it, i got the same light blue blank screen - any ideas? windows repair mode does not show me any errors.
2) sorry if this is xp related but in case i will observe the same behavior in w7 also, i think its legit to add this second problem here: after merging some partitions i find several folders "inaccessible" ie: clicking on it gives me "acces denied" . i tried to boot into save mode and adjust the user authorisations - however to no avail. even here i would get the message, that i do not have the authorisation ... / i could think - however i do not know for sure, that it could somehow be related to merging of two partitions. // being in admin mode - very strange isn't it? hmm ... any clues?

can someone think of a solution?

thanks for reading,
markus

Hi Markus, It sounds like you're facing some challenging issues after a serious crash on your PC. Let's address each of your concerns:

Issue 1: Windows 7 Booting Problem​

• Symptoms: Windows 7 boots up, gets stuck on a light blue screen with details about the version, and does not proceed to the desktop.
• Possible Solution:

• Boot into Safe Mode: Try booting into Safe Mode to see if it loads properly. If it does, there might be a software conflict causing the issue.
• Check Startup Programs: Disable non-essential startup programs that might be causing the problem.
• System File Check: Run a System File Check (SFC) to scan and repair system files that could be corrupt.

  Issue 2: Folder Access Issue After Merging Partitions​

  • Symptoms: After merging partitions, you're encountering folders that are inaccessible with "Access Denied" errors even in Safe Mode.
  • Possible Solution:
  []Ownership and Permissions: Check and adjust folder ownership and permissions. Ensure that you have the correct permissions to access these folders. []Take Ownership: Try taking ownership of the folders to regain access. This process might involve modifying security settings.
• Data Recovery Tools: Consider using data recovery tools to access and recover data from the inaccessible folders if needed.

  General Tips:​

  • Backup important data before attempting any major changes or fixes.
  • Consider using a live USB with a Windows installation to access advanced troubleshooting options if needed.
  These issues could be complex, so it's crucial to approach them carefully. Feel free to ask if you need more specific instructions or further assistance with troubleshooting these problems!
