Always have a recent backup of at least data

Yepp… and since he is a smart guy and have a google account he would have a backup at the free google drive that comes with all google accounts … Or have you not done that?

@Asyn Thanks ;D
@Pondus Do I detect a overtone of Sarcasm?!
not my laptop therefor no backup data available - the user does have G drive but never backed anything up.

Yea i guess so ...... the point is with all the info and knowledge that is on the net about this there is no excuse for not doing it. The big mail vendors like microsoft and Google give away cloud storage for free with a account, then there is dropbox and similar or just a USB stick, so you should have a backup plan just in case

You’re welcome.

@Pondus I agree, but that isn’t helping me getting this thing to boot.
@Asyn thanks anyway, but not much use because it won’t load windows
Anyone know how to get his thing to boot or of a way I delete the offending file before windows loads?

Follow the instructions in my link.

This same problem has happened on my Mum’s laptop. I had to do a system restore for her and it looks like the problem could be related to a recent windows update KB 2949927.

Is it actually stuck on aswrvrt.sys or, is that the last file it was able to verify
before getting stuck on the next file ???
