Hi All,
a couple f days ago I got problem with WIN 7 Professional installed in my PC .
At start-up the PC was freeze on "Ctr-Al Canc" acess menu, thus I decided (as done in other occasion) to turn off the pc with power off/on button .
When PC was booting again I got the windows Pop-Up :
"System Recovery Option"
bu No OS was listaed on the pop-up list .
Then I tryied to make some diagnosys with option "Startup Repair" (Automatically fix problems tht are preventing windows from starting") the result was :
"Boot section for system disk partition i s corrupt .
Reapir Action : Boot Section Repair.
Result: Failed. repair code 0 0x4902"
at that point from command prompt x:\> I typed the command :
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
but since that moment as soon as the pc is turn appear the Missing operating System" on top left windows .
I tried to use a bootable usb windows 7 but I could no reach any probress and the Win7 installed on crypted Disk is always no manageable / accessable by boot OS (I can see it but when click over it system ask for formatting 😞 I didn't ).
It's need to obtain "key" from HP to make disk readable and manageable from an repair disk ?
any suggestion coming from your experience.
Thanx any way And Best Regards
Alessandro.

Try an Internet search: www.bing.com/search?q=Failed+repair+code+0x490
Note that the search is for '490', not for '4902'.
Windows has the option to encrypt all your personal files, using your Windows login ID and password.
I think that you have chosen that option.
So, when you boot from some other copy of Windows, and try to access the disk-drive containing your files, you have not logged-in to your encrypted account.
Thus, you cannot access your files.
Do you have a backup of all your personal files?

I should have backup in cloud env but I need to check to verify when able to restore the system.
For link provided I'll try to see over there, even If the fault stage is different from the beginning after I tryied to re-build the MBR using the command "bootrec.exe /fixbr".
Now system show the warning :
"missing operating system"
As soon as pc is turn on.
Before the fix mbr attempt the system it's self reach the System Recovery Option step without any bootable usb.
Thanx Let me check link shared.
Best Regards
Alessandro
