I've tried everything, the recovery DVD has been no help, the advanced repair options all require an admin account. and it says there is none.



I've looked at at least 10 guides and nothings helped.



I'm starting to wonder if I should just copy important files over and reset the drive. All the files are intact (checked with command prompt on the recovery DVD), but itd be a major pain to move everything... any help is good help right about now.

  • Do you have any install media or existing backups?

  • Let it prepare the repair over-night. And wasn't the message rather "Preparing Automatic Repair"?

1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
