i don't know

That's not a Windows message it sounds like a virus.

Boot into Safe mode (Press F8 repeatedly after restarting your pc) and run your anti virus program

Answer 7

The GetDriveLayOut error I'm pretty sure is related to a RAID setup, so I would have to agree that removing the VIA RAID tool would help. As for the "maximum number of secrets" error, it means you have more than 4096 encrypted files on your computer. The US government decided 4096 should be the maximum allowed to prevent people from cracking the encryption on your computer and gaining access to sensitive files. I'm not sure exactly how it helps, but many error log files and things like that in Windows are encrypted, so that might be your problem. As far as I know, this problem only exists in Windows (Microsoft LOVES to place annoying restrictions on everything imaginable).

The only way I can think of to solve your problem would be to back up any important files and reinstall your operating system. If you can't even get into Windows to back anything up then get on a friend's computer and download the GParted LiveCD ISO and ImgBurn. Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD. Then boot to GParted, shrink your current Windows partition by about 3,072 MiB (3 GB), and create a new NTFS partition from the empty space you just made. Now you just use your Windows install disc to install a new copy of Windows to the new partition you just made. You should be able to access all of your files on the original partition, so you can back them up to an external drive, then wipe your hard drive clean and reinstall Windows again.

Or you could just switch to Linux and solve this problem indefinitely.
