Running Automatic repair from the Recovery Drive is easy. This post is also available as a TechRepublic Photo Gallery. Note: In a series of future articles, I'll continue my examination of the tools on the Recovery Drive and show you in detail how the Refresh and Reset options work. In this edition of the Windows Desktop Report, I'll take a look at using Automatic Repair from the Recovery Drive.
If the startup problem is severe enough to prevent Automatic Repair launching on its own, you can launch it from a Windows 8 Recovery Drive, as I showed you in a recent post: Be ready to use the Windows 8 Recovery Drive. When a startup problem is detected, the Automatic Repair will launch an automated, diagnostics-based troubleshooter that doesn't require user intervention and in many cases it will resuscitate an unbootable system. Windows 8 comes with new tool called Automatic Repair and like its Window 7 predecessor, Automatic Repair is designed to intercede at the first hint of an operating system startup problem. For example, in Windows NT we had the Emergency Recovery Utility, in Windows 2000 we had the Recovery Console, in Windows XP we had System Restore, and in Windows 7 we had the Startup Repair Tool.
As you may know from firsthand experience, startup problems with previous version of the Windows operating system occurred pretty regularly and Microsoft has always provided us with special tools for fixing those problems.
