WR 4.023 The "Safe mode" repair does not work
It has long been that the safe mode has stopped all the time on iaStorA.sys (intel 9 series chipset family SATA AHCI Controler)
All drivers do not solve the problem.

I've passed this on.

Also, the system repair F6 & F8 does not work (only the Windows window is colored blue without any other options, nothing show).
I will add that Windows 7 starts correctly (Normal).

[Boggin]

You should have added that to your opening post as jpm has already looked at your thread from my passing this on.

Have you had any recent Intel/MS updates that you can roll back ?

[Boggin]

Does the program run in normal mode ?

[jpm]

if you boot into windows and run 'msconfig' there is an option to select "safe boot". Click that and reboot and you should come into safe mode.

The tweaking program also has an option to force safe mode.

[Angelika]

Of course, the safe mode has not been activated for a long time, read files and stops. I am waiting and nothing is happening.

[Boggin]

Which version of Windows are you using and is your computer an OEM branded model or purpose built ?

[Angelika]

I do not know, this is a foldable PC with components by itself.
I need safe mode if the computer does not start correctly in normal mode for future.
The now normal mode works and the safe is not running, stuck in place and there is no reaction. Why does not it show any additional information that the system can not continue running in safe mode?

[Boggin]

From your thread I assume you are using a branded Win 7 laptop.

I suggest that you back up your personal stuff onto DVDs or a HDD and factory reset the laptop.

As you are unable to boot into the advanced boot options, that you create a System Repair disk and boot up with that.

Press any key when prompted to boot from CD/DVD where you will be presented with an inverse window with Windows Setup [EMS Enabled] highlighted - just press enter.

When the files have loaded, change/confirm the keyboard input method using the dropdown and navigate to the Recovery Environment (RE) where you will see an option for HDD Recovery.

Selecting this will factory reset the machine to out of the box.

This should resolve the safe mode problem.

But how to solve this problem without the need to repair the system, later many programs do not work and drivers need to install again and perform hundreds of different activities. This is not a wise solution to a simple problem.
How to perform "safe mode" diagnostics???
Windows 7 does not require repair because it works perfectly in normal mode, here is the problem only with safe mode!

[Boggin]

If you want the system to be whole again then I think you need to factory reset.

This is my advice and is what I would do.

It is up to you whether you take it or not.

[Angelika]

I repeat that the system is working perfectly, I do not need to repair anything. It would not do anything, but would only cause you to lose valuable time to restore everything.
Sam came across the perfect solution to my problem and without having to repair the System (as your suggested a wrong solution)!
If the disk (non-system, only additional) is broken, it will cause the system not to start in safe mode. Disconnecting the faulty drive will make everything work perfectly. So why repair the system? Hmmm?

[Boggin]

So why don't you provide all of the details of your system and who is Sam ?

My advice was based on a standard laptop set up.

[Angelika]

sam => alone

I use the most popular Windows 7, but it does not matter. In the first post I wrote about a system driver that got stuck, so I thought it was the fault of one of the disks.
