(2018) 25 June (around 9pm) - Laptop stuck in startup repair loop (says cant fix problem automatically)
I tried to enter safe mode and all..nothing worked ..laptop just restart and startup loop again
28 June -I thought bcd got corrupt so I tried this solution -->By Exiting startup repair and entering command prompt https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-rebuild-the-bcd-in-windows-2624508

(Shut down laptop as I had some other works)
29th June - "Started the laptop and Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or......be the cause.
File:\Windows\system32\drivers\MBAMSwissArmy.sys
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: Windows failed to load..... system driver is missing or corrupt."
Here too when I try to enter safe mode it just restarts..I cant even enter command promt as repair option is not available..
So I downloaded Win 7 Ultimate 64bit iso(clean iso from trusted source)and created a bootable usb by using poweriso
I browsed through so many forums and read so many posts(which brought me to you)..
I have downloaded mb clean, adw cleaner, Rkill, JRT, Microsoft malicious software removal tool, FARBAR RECOVERY..
(got some doubt Im booting using USB G: and Frst64.exe is in same Usb ..does that interfere with booting or scanning process
Is it safe to run Frst64.exe from the usb i use to boot laptop)
Waiting for instructions..
