    Can you attach the dllhpand64.dll file that is in the C:\FRST\Quarantine folder for analysis?

    You can delete the entire FRST folder afterwards.

    Also let me know what problems remain.

    I deleted frst folder then ran a mcafee scan then restarted--now I can't log into windows. I can get to the system recovery options. What do I do?

    What happens when you try to boot now -- be specific.
    Did the McAfee scan find something? A log from that would be great. In the meantime, run a new FRST scan and attach it here if you are still unable to boot.

    I did the McAfee scan....Some errors showed up that it needed to fix but needed to restart to fix them. I then restarted but it now is unable to start up windows and goes directly to start up repair and it says it can not repair this computer automatically with these details:

    I need to review your logs a bit further but I'm pointing out some discrepancies I see so far to remind myself later:

    First FRST log:
    Code:
    1 Drive c: (OS) (Fixed) (Total:58.59 GB) (Free:[COLOR="Indigo"]9.61 GB[/COLOR]) NTFS
    Second FRST log:
    Code:
    1 Drive c: (OS) (Fixed) (Total:58.59 GB) (Free:[COLOR="Red"]7.82 GB[/COLOR]) NTFS
    Nearly 2GB missing now. Drivers missing!

    Hi, try this one first. If boot is still unsuccessful, attach both the fixlog.txt and a new FRST.txt scan.

    No restore points have been created on your computers system drive. To create a restore point open system protection.==>your computer is running in a limited diagnostic state. If you use system restore in this limited state, you cannot undo the restore operation.

    Ok I think I realized what went wrong. I need to try to get some more information though. Try the following fixlist:

    Go into System Recovery Options ==> Command Prompt and use the Notepad trick to locate your operating system (OS) drive. It should be around 58.59 GB in size.

    Once you have found the drive letter, type in the following command, replacing c: with the appropriate drive letter you found earlier.
    • sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
    This process usually takes around an hour to complete. Be patient.
    You should receive a message similar to "Starting integrity scan.."
     
  28. casperdawn89

    casperdawn89 Private E-2

    Did as directed. A few seconds later it had /scannow,/verifyonly,/scanfile,/verifyfile,/offbootdir,/offwindir and their definitions. Ending with
    x:\windows\system32>

    Weird.. ok, try the following command:

    • chkdsk c: /r

    Note: remember to replace c: with your OS drive letter.

    Also run this command after the above has been completed:

    • bootrec /rebuildbcd
    Let me know what output you receive after typing that.

    Waiting for a response. Do you have your Windows 7 DVD by chance? I'd like you to retry what I posted here a couple more times, preferably once you have booted from the Windows 7 DVD and entered System Recovery Options from it.
     
  39. casperdawn89

    casperdawn89 Private E-2

    No I do not have the windows 7 dvd. It was preloaded and the only disks that came with the computer are drivers and utilities, application for cyberlink powerdvd, application for dell webcam, and microsoft works 9.
     
  40. thisisu

    Ok, retry the sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows command using the built in System Recovery Options. Try it a couple of times.

    casperdawn89 Private E-2

    I just contacted dell to send me the windows disk. I should receive it in 3 days. Tried the operation 2x and all I get is
    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
    Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

    Inserted the windows 7 disk and preformed command (e is my os drive)
    sfc /scannow /offbootdir=e:\ /offwindir=e:\windows
    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Hi Tiffany,

    I'm very sorry for the delay.

    We have a couple of ideas so let's try idea #1..

    NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

    Attached is fixlist.txt
    • Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.
    • You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST64.exe on your flash drive.

    Now re-enter System Recovery Options.
    Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
    The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt).
    Please attach this to your next message. (How to attach)

    Now attempt to boot normally.

    Is there a way you can see the other boot options using F8 prior to boot?
    Now we're uncertain what is causing the boot issue because the system64 and reparse points are both gone according to your logs.

    When your computer is booting up, try pressing the F8 key repeatedly to see if you can get a screen like this:

    It doesn't do anything when pressing f8 except go to the startup repair. It does give me two options in the lower right corner when starting up f2 setup and f12 boot options. I tried f12 to boot from CD drive with the windows 7 disk installed--it goes to a windows install screen, if I install will it loose all my information?
     
  48. thisisu

    thisisu Malware Consultant

    It depends. If you delete/format the existing partition, then you will lose all data. However, if you install Windows 7 on a NEWLY CREATED partition (not your existing OS!!), then it should make a clean install and you should able to access your old partition's data files as well.
     
  49. casperdawn89

    casperdawn89 Private E-2

    I went to install now. Given 2 options Upgrade and custom. Went to custom it says:
    Where do you want to install Windows?
    name total size free space type
    Disk 0 partition 1 100.0 MB 91.0 MB OEM(Reserved)
    Disk 0 partition 2 9.8 GB 5.4 GB System
    Disk 0 partition 3:OS 58.6 GB 9.5 GB Primary
    Disk 0 partition 4 229.6 GB 213.3 GB Logical

    refresh drive options (advanced)
    load driver

    The recommended free space for installation is 17256 MB.

    Next

    Drive Options (Advanced) => New

    On the new partition (you will have to enter its size) is where you would Install.
