Server stuck in Automatic Repair loop

If a server is stuck in automatic repair and goes into the recovery environment, start by seeing if you can run Chkdsk c: /f/b from the command prompt

If this doesn't work and the server is not finding the C: drive Mount the S:\HP B120i Storage Driver folder as a virtual drive

Then run drvload.exe <filename>.inf in this case it will almost certainly be drvload.exe hpsa2.inf unless something changes. 

Check the drives for the Windows folder by running DIR on each drive letter

Then go into the X drive and run the chkdsk  *: /f on the relevant drive

e.g. If windows is on the e: drive

chkdsk e: /f

You can also be /b for bad sectors but that adds a lot of time.

To be clear - run this on all the drives you can find to aid in boot up time afterwards.

Then run
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=e:\ /offwindir=e:\windows

if this complaining that there is a pending system repair then

del e:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml

and run the sfc again

reboot the server.
