Darn and no USB drive either ?

Could you burn the windows 7 recovery console and FRST to the same disc ?
Then burn the FRST log once produced - Without the log I cannot see where to resolve the problem

will try to burn win7 rc and frst64 to another disc, but the link for win7rc points to the 32-bit one.

There are two links - one 32bit and one 64

so after it's done downloading, I burn this iso image and frst64 to the CD, then run this instead of that Reatogo environment? then after the scan there, how do I burn that txt result file back to CD from the RC?

From the RC you should be able to copy it to the CD ... I will check to see if there are additional commands required..


One other thing to try is to use the CD and select startup repair initially to see if that can get us part way in

just to let you know, it does boot into windows, but after everything is loaded up, then a popup appears that says critical error, will restart in 1 min, would a repair still be needed?

Can you get to safe mode ?  I was under the impression it was looping

I can get to safe mode, but it does the same thing with that popup that then reboots the pc after 1 min, so I can't really do any scanning from within Windows.

Try a startup repair then - Is the warning NT access perchance or just critical error

Also within that minute have you tried shutdown /a from an elevated command prompt ?

critical error, but it doesn't look like a standard Windows error, but it using the aero theme though. it says to save any work and stuff like that, when the current av (MSE) tries to automatically remove it.

haven't tried that. after shutdown /a it still reboots.

without logging into Windows, it reboots itself with no error message.

Is there any way you can disable MSE before it removes it, or tell it to ignore it ?
