Every morning I get up, switch on my PC and then go and prepare breakfast. By the time I’m done, Windows has booted up and I can start work.
But not today.
Unfortunately, something had gone wrong with Windows 7 and the operating system was refusing to bootHow to Solve Most Windows Boot ProblemsHow to Solve Most Windows Boot ProblemsIs your Windows computer not booting up? It could be because of a hardware, software, or firmware error. Here's how to diagnose and fix these problems.Read More. Instead, the computer was caught in a reboot loop, unable to load the operating system and constantly restarting.
In previous versions of Windows this might have required a full reinstall or at least some messing around. Fortunately thanks to the way in which Windows 7 was designed it is possible to resolve a reboot loop in a relatively short space of time.
What Is an Infinite Reboot Loop?
Have you ever encountered an infinite reboot loop?
You would probably recall if you have. It is instantly recognizable by the failure of Windows to correctly load up after switching on your PC or laptop. Instead, the computer will reach a certain stage before the logon screen only to then reset back to the boot screen, at which point it will attempt to load Windows again, becoming caught in the loop (although in some cases it might successfully boot) again and again.
The error occurs because of a problem with the Windows 7 system registry. Unfortunately, without booting into Windows the registry cannot be fixed, leaving the operating system unreachable.
It’s a Catch 22 situation.
In order to overcome this problem, the tools provided in the Windows 7 System Recovery Options can be used.
Booting Into the System Recovery Options Screen
First, you will need to boot your computer into the System Recovery Options screen. This is usually done with the installation DVD, which should be inserted into the optical drive. When the computer boots, Press any key to boot from CD or DVD as requested, select your language preference and then click Repair your computer. A list of installed operating systems should be displayed – select Windows 7 and click Next.
The System Recovery Options screen will appear. Select the first option, Use recovery tools that can help fix problems with Windows, and then select Startup Repair.
(If your computer has a pre-installed recovery partition, the process is a little different. In this case, boot to the Advanced Boot Options screen, select Repair your computer and tap Enter. Next, select the keyboard language type, then your username and password before selecting Startup Repair in the System Recovery Options screen.)
With Startup Repair selected, Windows will attempt to automate the repair; this might work – otherwise, further action will be required.
Preparing Windows 7 Recovery
If the Startup Repair option fails, you will receive a message reading Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. At the bottom of the message, click View advanced options for system recovery and support to return to System Recovery Options, and instead click Command Prompt.
The black command line interface will open with X: selected by default; this is the Windows internal RAM disk that is used by System Repair. You will need to navigate to your Windows system drive, which will by default be on the C: drive.
To open this, type C: and press Enter. Type DIR and press Enter to check that you are in the right drive – the contents listed should include the Program Files, Users and Windows folders.
You will then need to change directory. Enter CD windowssystem32config and then DIR to check that the correct files and folders are listed:
Victoria 2 Ultimate Rebooted Download Game
- RegBack
- DEFAULT
- SAM
- SECURITY
- SOFTWARE
- SYSTEM
With access to the correct directory and the required folders present, enter MD mybackup to create a backup folder. Enter copy *.* mybackup to copy everything to this location, agreeing to the overwrite warnings when they appear.
The RegBack folder stores automatic Windows registry backups. To check if these can be used in restoring your system, enter CD RegBack and then DIR to view the contents. In the folder, you should have the following:
- DEFAULT, SAM and SECURITY files, each around 262,000 bytes
- SOFTWARE file, around 26,000,000 bytes
- SYSTEM file, around 9,900,000 bytes
Note that these figures are approximate, but recognise that if any of these files display a size of zero bytes then you will have to resort to another method of restoring Windows 7.
Running the Windows 7 Recovery
With your RegBack folder containing the data you need to restore Windows 7 and rescue it from the reboot loop, you will be able to copy the contents and use them to get the operating system back up and running again.
Victoria 2 All Dlc Torrent
Begin by entering copy *.* . – note the two trailing dots. These indicate that the contents should be pasted to the level above – the Config folder. Agree to all prompts concerning whether you want to overwrite files, and once the process has completed enter exit to close the command prompt.
On the System Recovery Options screen, click Restart to reboot your PC – if everything has gone as it should, Windows 7 should now start correctly!
Conclusion
Reboot loops have long been a problem with Windows. While previous versions offered a couple of ways out in the recovery options, these solutions were far from comprehensive.
The same is true in Windows 7 but there is at least a much better success rate of dealing with infinite reboot loops.
When following the steps outlined here, please take care to follow them precisely. Errors that you make while using the command line interface cannot be undone.

You are the hero! :)
Thanks a lotI CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH GRATITUDE!
Thank you so much man!
For anyone with similar issue:
I had unplugged my laptop while shutting down, with no battery. Every attempt to boot resulted in black screen with cursor endlessly rendering. Spent hours searching and scanning the PC. This fix works!You are a god. One of my big wig users came in with his old ass laptop for remoting in with it stuck in a boot update loop. Ten thousand websites later I find yours. You fixed it in less than 5 minutes. My the Computer Gods of old and new smile upon your house for all eternity.
Thanks so much. Everything back up and running. Life saver.
MAN I LOVE YOU YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANKS THANKS THANKS I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY THANK YOU
I've encountered problem of default,Sam, security, software, system all being 0 bytes.. Plz help me solve this problem
This worked really well. Something else happened and I'm not sure what, I left my office and came back and it was constantly restarting again. I tried to repeat this fix, and now it won't even load the repair screen! It restarts automatically no matter what startup option is selected from the F8 screen.
Wonderful and thank you so much for this procedure ! I could get rid of this nightmare so easily
thanks it helped me
Brilliant. Thanks! It worked.
Its again that infinity loop. ?
love you all! helped a great deal god bless!
Worked for me, thank you very much. I have sifted through dozens of similar articles and this was the fix I needed. My updates were stalling at 100%, thus the solution w/o too much hassle was F8 into recovery > command prompt and using this fix. Try this fix first y'all!
Thank you so very much buddy.to those still having problems,ensure that every step is followed precisely.on first attempt,it didn't work,tried again and it did.cheerz
Thank you very much for your expert guidance. I followed your, very concise instructions, and all is well!!
Thanks again!Thank you very much! That worked like a charm! Now I know a little bit more about Windows and its registry, though I'm personally a Linux guy (as opposed to my wife).
Yes this did work. Only problem I had was that my keyboard and mouse were not recognized in repair mode. Probably because USB drivers did not load. Luckily, I always keep an old ps2 keyboard for these situations.
Dude your a monsterrr!!!! It really works!!
So sad it is not working for me. When I tried the repair option, it says something about incompatible version of win7 which makes me unable to fix it. :(
Using Winxp for decade or even win me was more stable than win7..
Amazing...You PEOPLE are genius ..Really worked
thankss....your tutorial works for me..my pc comes out from Infinite Reboot Loop..
Final cut pro x free download mac full version. Thank you so much! This worked! The only difference for me was that the system32 config folder was under D:/, instead of C. For those of you who were unsuccessful, perhaps give D:/ a try.
Thanks so much for this, it worked when nothing else I was trying was! Fully back up and running after a scary infinite 'Automatic Repair Loop'.
One thing to note, your drive letters may not be what you expect when in command prompt, so don't dispair if your C: drive doesn't list your system files. Try all your available drives. My system drive ended up being G: for some reason.
THANK YOU!
Great! I followed the instructions and It recovered my system.
Thank You!!!Hello, same issue and i tried this when do DIR in C: it says file not found when i do TREE in C: it says no subfolder exist in C:.
Why??Tried this, followed it to the letter, no change to windows, anything else I can try?
I ahve tried the same, I am trying with the bootable pendrive, but it also not getting form that.
hi when i typ in in the cmd C: DIR it cant find the files
I followed all of the steps you have provided, but once it is mentioned in your post 'if any of these files display a size of zero bytes, you will have to use another method', I found a couple files with zero bytes. Whst is the alternative method for the loop fix at this point?
Worked partially for windows server 2008 r2 but then I got stuck at Applying Computer Settings.
My problem is that I will start up my computer and see see [enter password] in a white box. It didn't do that in the beginning after I pressed a button, and I don't remember what button it was, and then it shows the Toshina start up screen and ask for my HDD/SSD and I put it in and repeat. I tried a bunch of things like Shift+R but still doesn't stop the cycle. Help?
Hi Christian,
I left a comment back on July 6, 2016. I see in the past couple of comments that you replied to them so maybe you can go back to July 6 and tell me if there is anything more I can do?!
Thanks!
Ty it works
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was having a really bad day and came home to an infinitely looping reboot. Tried so many things but yours was what fixed it! I'm so happy that people like you exist in this world!
-t
Hey, i have succeeded on following your instructions before. But then i tried updsting my windows, and when it is installing the pc suddenly restarts and thus started the loop. And this time i failed. Any ideas?
you saved me! i can't thank you enough!!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!!! from the bottom of my heart! thank you!
DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM all show up with 0 bytes.
What is this other 'method of restoring Windows 7'?
Can I copy DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM from another computer with Windows 7?
UPDATE: I copied the DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM from another computer, restarted, and it STILL loops infinitely!
I previously already did a FULL reinstall of Windows 7, which also formatted the HDD, so this should run as if it is fresh out the box. It doesn't. It just loops.
The laptop (Toshiba Satellite L655-S5161x) is old, slow, and has essentially been replaced already, and ALL of my important files were manually removed using CMD prior to the reinstall.. but that's not the point! The point is to get this thing to work!
Thanks.
What if we do not have a Windows 7 disc?
I did this correctly but still when I restart it puts me back to the reboot screen
I guess it means the error in registry was propagated into the backup. that's not fun then. but i don't really know when windows decides to replace the registry backup with another backup
Your article was my last chance to recover my win7 on my mac! You are indeed a savior ! :D I love you man !
thanks a lot Christian Cawley, you are a savior, love u.
Thnaks Christian Cawley, love you..you are a savior
Fair Play, I'd tries a lot of other earlier google results but to no result. This worked a treat and very clearly explained. Many Thanks. Ronan, Cahill Computers
Dear Christian, you helped us a lot! This is the only working 'solution' that we found in the net. There was nothing left we didn't try desperately, until we found your solution instruction, Thanks a lot, you are great! :)
Hi Christian Cawley,You have Really Done a Great Job My Writing this article and helping out tons of People,I'm Glad to say that it Works like a charm,Keep Rocking?
Thank you I have been up all might fixing my pc and this was the final step and it worked
I thank you so much bro. I was stuck and nothing could help me and finally this post came to my rescue.
I'm a computer technician and this article makes me look like a pro. thanks. works like a charm
my system is stuck with loop. i followed your steps but after clicking on repair your computer top up menu is not opening. PLz help me.
I am on an Alienware I-7 machine with Windows 7 and am stuck in an update failure loop with the message, 'failure configuring windows updates, reverting changes, do not turn computer off' for 24 hours now. I finally tried rebooting, but it just goes back into the same loop unless I tap F8 upon restart, then I can get to the Safe Mode Screen.
I am in safe mode with networking now and followed the instructions above but when I try to use the 'copy *.*' command I get the message that all 5 folders (SAM, SECURITY, DEFAULT, SOFTWARE, & SYSTEM) are in use by another process. So I can't continue. Any ideas why I am getting this message and what I need to do next?
Just FYI, I also tried to repair my computer from the Startup Repair prompt but it said it could find no problems. Then I tried to do a System Restore. There were three restore point dates, but the restore failed on all of them. I also tried resetting my computer to the last known good configuration but that did not work either.
I am now at a total loss and am wondering if I need to just restore the computer to factory settings. I don't have a disc drive, but there is an Alienspawn Restore option under the system recovery menu.
You have to boot in start up repair. Not in safe mode.
Thanks for the reply, but You must have missed where I stated that I already tried to boot up in start up repair and that didn't work.
Since my comment was over a month ago, I did eventually find a solution. Here is what I finally had to do after all other attempts to repair and restore failed, and after spending 4 hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support.
First, since my Alienware laptop has no CD/DVD drive, I had to get on another computer and download the operating system onto a blank flash drive. This took almost an hour. Then I had to go into the advanced boot drive screen in System BIOS (how you access this is different depending on your computer, but on my system you hit repeatedly upon powering up) and change the boot option to external drive. Then you save and exit and turn off the system. Next you put in the USB flash drive and restart. This allows the computer to boot up from the USB drive, bypass the failure loop, and reinstall the operating system. However, this does completely wipe your computer to factory settings and does require that all software be reinstalled.
I ended up installing Windows 10 and have not had any problems since. Hope this helps someone else who is having the same issue where start up repair and system restore does not work.
The key you hit repeatedly to get into BIOS on my system was F2.
I also forgot to mention that after the new operating system is installed you have to rremove the USB drive, and restart the computer and go back into the System BIOS and change the boot drive back to what it was before. Then again save and exit and restart.
works a treat, thanks muchly.
When I enter CD windowssystem32config and then DIR it doesn't show the files you have listed
RegBack
DEFAULT
SAM
SECURITY
SOFTWARE
SYSTEM
out of these only it shows SAM and Security nothing else and after that I can't proceed further plz help me out plzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!had been trying to fix my laptop for weeks. thanx a lot for this article. worked like a charm
I had resorted to reinstalling Windows due to this issue. When my computer continued with the infinite loop cycle after trying to boot from cd to reinstall... I was prepared to buy a new HDD. One final web search produced this article.
And it worked perfectly!!
Thanks a lot - worked perfectly.
DaveIs there anything I can do if I don't have enough space on my drive?
Great job. a life savior.
Couldn't find the various folders in the C: Drive, found them in the F: Drive though, and when I copied them over and checked the DIR they all had 0 bytes. Have tried reinstalling windows but when restarting the reboot loop continues.
Thank you my friend, it worked great, I saved time and money thanks to you. You are my saver.
Hi there, it worked fantastically, and the description is wonderful to understand even for me as a german. Thank you very much for posting such solutions and go on like that.!!!
Awesome article! Worked like a champ!
in the last stage files display a size of zero bytes, what to do? how to resort to normal installation in this situation, my windows are being installed in the D drive
Worked for me. Thanks!
for Rinaldo. Look in your installed updates and uninstall the Windows WAT update KB971033 is you see it. Paste the KB # into the search bar and if you see it, uninstall it. This causes the fake Windows not genuine error. MSFT got sneaky and tries to always offer it with automatic update. You don't want it and it doesn't do anything good for you if you go get it. They will say its for a security issue but it's really just to try and catch people with non genuine Windows. If you have a genuine Windows that starts up with that message or see that not genuine thing in bottom rt corner of desktop get rid of that update. Do not try to install the so called WAT removers utilities as they almost all contain malware and viruses and don't do anything to fix the initial issue. Actually even having a Windows serial keygen or crack or windows activator/WAT remover somewhere and Windows detects it, and you have the WAT update installed you will get that fake 'not genuine' message even if your windows is genuine. If you are doing a clean install and don't have that update yet, keep a close eye for it if you use Windows update as soon as you see it offered you need to hide that update or they will keep trying to make you install it. They will offer it every time until you hide it.
This doesn't work. So what is the repair option for when this doesn't work? No matter what option selected from Advanced boot menu (f8) still just boots to the recovery environ. Please no replies about using System Restore or clean installing Windows. That is not acceptable answers to how to repair anything. Windows 7 sp 1 64 bit
it didnt work,when i followed the instructions and restarted my computer it always take me to a start up repair window.
I'd specifically note where there are spaces in the command inputs. It was pretty hard for me to tell this the first time around. But the fix works great! Now I just have to figure out why windows keeps messing up the registry periodically even when I haven't changed anything from one boot to the next..
Hi Chris, works for me!! But when I login windows displays 'this copy of windows is not genuine'
Can you help please?Thank's for this
Works like magic!!! After hours of try/fail this fix worked! Thanks a lot. Keep doing great job.
Thanks brother! It worked!
Where do u get the cd
Thanks! Saved me windows install after the KB3033929 botch..
Thank you so much for this, it worked perfectly! You saved me today :) Thank you!
Always good to hear we've helped someone!
Note that these figures are approximate, but recognise that if any of these files display a size of zero bytes then you will have to resort to another method of restoring Windows 7. I'm asking about this apparently i'm stuck here. And the windows is now not reading any USB devices or DVD ROM. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the other alternate way you are talking about? Can you please help me with that one.
I don't ever leave comments like these but I felt I needed to for this one because your solution worked perfectly.
I use cmd.exe as my shell, although recently I changed it back to explorer - and the problems came rolling in. After following this guide, not only was the boot loop broken but I was returned to my usual cmd shell. Thank you.That works finally! Thank you!!!!
Thanks mate. Worked out for me :)
After i press CD windowssystem32config ........it says that the path will not exist .What i have to do if path does not exist
You must seperate each directory with forward slash or backshlash.
So the command is 'cd c:/windows/system32/config/'
im having this issue with an infinite reboot loop. but a bit different. its windows 8, and when i select to boot from cd drive, it doesnt do that, like it doesnt recognize the setting.
computer reboots on black screen right before OS logon screen.
anyone got any ideas
Hi,
When I run dir on the C: drive I get 'File Not Found'.
I know C: is my system drive and I have tried ever other letter just to be sure.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Billy
Thank you so much for your simple and easy explanation on how to solve the Windows 7 looping problem on startup. My work laptop went into a loop and although I was delayed for half a day, I was able to repair it and get everything working again without having to send it off to our IT guy who charges a fortune and was talking about a full system wipe. Thanks again your help was invaluable!
Did nothing keeps saying cannot find the path so thanks for nothing
i had this happen to me the other day..not fun..your article would have helped a lot then lol
thanks mate..good save..i got stuck at copy *.* . for all those stuck there its actually
(copy [space] *.* [space] .Note: the 2 spaces and the 2 dots.
i used windows7/windows8 os on my pc before ,now i format it and i'm using windows7 only but when i start my pc it will ask chose your os windows7 or windows 8,
how to clear this problem?Christian, thanks for your article.
I've not been able to start windows7 for about a week since the last Windows update and my kids installed latest iTunes. I've tried repair and reverting back to previous save points incrementally until I'm pretty much back to the original win7 configuration (which for this machine was early 2012). I then tried your fix above but no luck. Still fails on Starting Windows -> bluescreen of death -> startup repair.
Can still get to cmd prompt.
Feels like the next option is reinstalling Win7.
Any other suggestions?
Thanx Will
I want to buy you a beer man. You just saved my ass. Thanks a lot for this
Hello and thanks for this great article, it is incredibly clear and easy to follow.
However, I still have a problem.
My 'loop' started after installing Windows Updates a few nights ago.Following your article, everything went well up until the copy function 'copy *.* .' from the regback folder.
Everything but Software gets copied and gives me an error message indicating that it is not able copy it due to an I/O error; but it copied the rest, a total of 6 files.The Software file is about twice as large as mentioned in the article, displaying 47mil bytes; yet it still fails to be copied.
Booting up results in the same loop as before; Startup repair starts and then mentions that it can't be automatically fixed.
Anything I can do?
THANKS AGAIN!
You sir have made my night, like hell I would have figured out the registry trick on my own.. and here I was worried my SSD was dead.
many many <3'sI tried doing these steps but there is a problem. First, when the first screen comes up to select a driver, it comes up with Windows 7, Partion size 0 location unknown. I still click next and follow the steps and the list of things that should come up do not. I dont know what to do
Im still having trouble with this. Its once i opened command prompt to attempt to fix my computer. What happend was i did what i was supposed to do in the first steps which was, type in 'C:' and then dir. However it wasn't intill it came to the next step
CD windowssystem32config that it would say 'the system cannot find the path specified. I don't know what that means and im afraid to say that im a noob to computers. My computer is stuck in a infinite system restore cycle and i can't even get close to the login screen. can someone help me i really need my computer to work soon.What is an 'I/O device error?' I get to the command prompt line and try to get to the C: drive, but it just takes a few minutes of doing nothing and says it cannot find the drive due to an I/O device error.

Thank you so MUCH! You really saved my computer! I was trying to get it to stop the reboot loop and was to the point of thinking I might need a new mobo.
Great article helped me solve the problem quickly. Thanks for the time it took to put together. Great job and thanks a ton.
I figured this out by monkeying into some options there, but this article sure gave me some insights as well.
what if, the above all steps does'nt work??
Is der any way to replace some files via application (which is already installed inside windows say linux or ubuntu) to avoid such start up repair loop .. i.e.infinite loop ??
I tried this and never worked my computer goes to starting windows does the animation but does not go to login screen instead it just restarts. Has been doing this since 2days ago. Any suggestions on how to fix this irritating problem. My computer is not even a year old. I would really appreciate your help
I realized c: went to d: under cmd. Went through the steps & worked like a chram, 100% fixed!!! Thnx so much!
I get 'Volume in c is System Reserved' and can't view dir or any fldrs in cmd. Other drives open up fine, is there another way to open c:?
This has happened to a number of my clients and its a relatively easy fix once you do it once or twice.
Never experienced this issue. Hope I don't, but it's nice to be prepared. Thanks!
It's Windows. Just reinstall on top of the old one, or use an Ubuntu live disk to transfer important files and reformat the system partition
Excellent article. Especially on how to handle the registry when all you have is the command prompt.
I hope this never happens to my laptop!! The only problem is that it's not shuting down!! the only way to turn it off is to keep the ON button pressed .. :(
It would also be good to note that if you do not have the Windows 7 install disc, whether from losing it not not being given one, you can download the .iso image for free from Microsoft's Digital River storefront. You can find the links listed over in this wiki. Just download the image, burn it to a dvd with a program such as ImgBurn, and boot to it.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3316.2-1-microsoft-windows-7-official-iso-download-links-digital-river.aspxAlternatively, if your laptop doesn't come with a dvd drive, you can use a usb drive just as well. Microsoft has a little program to put it on a flash drive for you. You can find it here.

Infinite reboot loop.. I thought that was called windows update? ;P
Will this method be the same for Windows XP sp2 or a little bit different?
Safe mode rebooting?
How about rebooting in safe mode?
'Begin by entering copy *.* . – not the two trailing dots. These indicate that the contents should be pasted to the level above – the Config folder.'
I think you meant to say 'note', not 'not' :)
Im having a rpoblem,when i installed win/7 win8 and ubuntu linux,i deleted win8 an win7,now when i want to restart my pc it doesnt respond at all,so i have to shut it down and turn on again.Is this the same issue regarding thsi article or?
The fun part comes when this part..
'..then click Repair your computer. A list of installed operating systems should be displayed – select Windows 7 and click Next.'
..does not work as advertised.
I've had Windows 7 boot process hose itself so bad that even though it displays the installed OS, it cannot SELECT that OS..and thus never brings up the System Recovery Options - which you need in order to get to a command line.
In other words, Microsoft made it impossible to get to the command line a la the previous forms of Recovery Consoles in this situation! A MAJOR PITA!
The only thing you can do then is boot a live CD which has had some sort of Windows 7 boot database editor installed - which is hard because most of them rely on .NET which usually isn't installed on a Live CD - although it is possible. If you don't have something like that, you are totally SOL - the only recourse AFAIK is a complete re-install..
It's almost as if Microsoft really wanted to make it much harder for PC support techs to fix these sorts of problems. They tried to automate the process but at the same time did not allow for the possibility of their 'automated repair process' to itself fail miserably.
Fortunately I only saw this occur on two Windows 7 machines shortly after installation. Subsequently they ran for a year with no problems. But it happened twice on one machine early in its history, both times requiring a full re-install.
