    Hello guys!

    I just bought a UL30A from Amazon.

    I am getting the following problem.

    Sometimes when I turn on the computer it will just not start Windows (it is the original Windows 7 Home Premium 64 that comes with it). It will ask me to do the Initialization Repair. After I do that it is all normal again.

    Anyone know what is going on?

    Could it be hardware related?

    It is happening a lot now.

    I own the computer for about a week now.

    I searched on other places and more people have this problem with Asus and Windows 7.

    I would pop in the restore CDs and restore the OS. Sounds like a bad install of the OS.

    It sounds like a corrupted registry where a simply repair can't fix.
    Fist of all, I'd suggest you back you all your important documents/files.
    Then, preform a system restore with the recovery system from the hidden recovery partition on your hard drive by pressing F9 during boot.
