I have Lenovo G580 laptop. I was updating drivers, after updating power driver window ask for reboot. When I restart windows It just prompt message for repairing [recommended]. I tried for repairing but hard luck. After that I tried for fresh installation of windows7 Ultimate x64 (previous version of windows is same), it is taking a lot time (3 hours) for installation and still getting same message for repair.
Can someone help me to fix this problem. How can I format my C drive and get a fresh copy of Windows.
I am using USB for installation windows.
EDIT: I tried CHKDSK in command prompt and windows has checked the file system and found no problem. So I think HDD is not corrupted. Any suggestion.
EDIT 2: Hi I tried for safe mode and system boots fine and I can login to safe mode, but again when I tried for normal boot it hangs again. I tried to open msconfig but it is asking for Administrator privilege even though I don`t have admin account. Any pointers regarding Normal boot process. between I am following this link.
It is showing two accounts in safe mode for only one user.

1Sounds like a HDD problem. Your installation of the drivers just happened to hammer the final nail in it's coffin. It's time to replace the HDD. "How can I format my C drive and get a fresh copy of Windows." - Boot to the installation disk, format the HDD, and install Windows. – Ramhound – 2017-01-25T17:25:28.330
@Ramhound... Actually installation itself not starting properly. Are you sure HDD got corrupted. Should I try for external HDD to give it a chance. – someone – 2017-01-25T17:29:35.260
I can't be sure your HDD has failed, you didn't provide information proving it was/wasn't failing, the evidence you provide hints towards that fact. If you want an answer that says one way or another without a shadow of a doubt provide more evidence – Ramhound – 2017-01-25T17:34:40.947
Boot up to the windows 7 install. Before clicking anything try pressing either F8 or shift+F10. If that gets you a command prompt, then try running
diskpart. Uselist diskto find your disk you want to reformat. Make it the "active" disk for diskpart withselect disk #where # is the number of your disk. usecleanto format it this will wipe everything on the drive*. Reboot and retry the install of Windows. – lightwing – 2017-01-25T17:55:59.807Hi all please check updated question, and provide me any solution. – someone – 2017-01-26T16:10:50.777
its possible that your USB is starting to fail. Bad medium or slow medium can cause exactly what your experiencing – Tim – 2017-01-26T16:14:46.893
