How To Fix The BOOTING IN SAFEMODE DSREPAIR Error

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, Our computer keeps rebooting and enters safe mode. I can’t get it to start normally. It shows the error” booting in safemode dsrepair ” before restarting.“ - Maria M., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: The Booting In Safemode DSrepair error can appear at random times but especially at the time when Windows is starting. It can appear in many different versions of Windows.

There are a few potential causes for the Booting In Safemode DSrepair error to appear, they are:

The computer’s BIOS may be incompatible with the ACPI.
Hardware or device drivers incompatible with the operating system may have caused this problem.

Solution

Change BIOS Setting From SATA to IDE

This solution only applies to computers that were released before Windows 8. So, if your computer came with Windows 7 or an older version of Windows then you should follow these steps.

For Windows 8 And Newer Computers
