Error Vista crcdisk.sys Tecra A4 - solution

Hello world!

I have create this post to share my experience of installing vista on a Tecra A4 (tecra a4 257 to be precise)

to be brief, the first time that the installation of vista freeze, it is on the famous "crcdisk.sys" in safe mode
---> solution: reboot on the installation DVD and go to "repair my computer" then the command prompt to delete/rename \windows\system32\drivers\pcmcia.sys and \windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\pcmci ablablabla

But even after that, I'm not able to complete the installation because I uncounter the famous 'black screen of death' (more precise, after the first restart, Setup will "finish installation" and after a while, the screen goes white and my laptop freeze without HDD activity more)
---> solution: after remove/rename pcmcia.sys e.a., delete/rename all the files on your Texas instruments PCIxx21 because it is this f * ing material that make vista freezing!

so I renamed all the files in the windows\system32\drivers folder named * 1394 * (for firewire controller that belongs to a TI PCIxx21) as well as in the \windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\ and \windows\inf\ folder
I have renamed in the same files all files named sd * (for the reader of card memory, another part of TI PCIxx21)

After that installation is finished and I was able to see vista and aero for the first time (sniff...)

I hope that someone help :-)

Nice tips.
I think all information on Vista are very useful to us because it s a new OS and there are always a lot of questions.
Thank you very much.

  • Error Vista crcdisk.sys Tecra A4

    When the beta version of Vista came out several people had problems installing where start-ups would stop at the first reboot to "crcdisk'sys '.

    I followed the MS forums, but also here, but never found a solution.

    Has anyone installed Vista Beta on a Tecra A4 again? If so, what is the secret?

    Any help appreciated

  • BSOD on startup Vista crcdisk.sys

    Hello.
    I just installed Vista SP2.

    Rebooted and everything went well.

    I've also updated my BIOS of motherboard (Intel G35EC) to its latest version.
    At the next restart I got BSOD, and the system restarted before I could read anything.

    I tried 'Safe Mode'. It loads the files, and then gets the file: crcdisk.sys crashes for a few seconds and then restarts.
    I tried to change the settings for the SATA controller to IDE emulation still with no success.

    What could be? How I can fix?

    Thank you.

    Uh, did him updated BIOS might have something to do with it?
    He has clearly stated that it has installed SP2, rebooted and everything was fine, then it has updated its BIOS and now he has problems.

    Thank you

  • Computer stops during startup, Vista crcdisk.sys

    When I try to turn on my computer, I get a screen saying that Windows is not shut down properly. It gives me the opportunity to launch startup repair or start windows normally. With option, I get the black screen with the green bar for maybe 3-4 seconds before my computer turn off suddenly. I tried to hit f8 and have advanced boot options. With one of the security modes selected, I see loading files. The last file I see is crcdisk.sys and then the computer shuts down. I thought maybe it was a start power supply problem but by replacing the power supply did not solve the problem.  I tried to boot from the disc of the operating system that came with the computer, after "loading windows files" it does the same thing and stop at the black screen with the green bar. I downloaded a Vista recovery disk and tried to boot from that, same result.

    Ideas/suggestions on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Looks like you have a hardware problem - most likely with your hard drive, but perhaps also something else.  I recommend that take you to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service (NOT Geek Squad or any company like that).  Or you can send it to the manufacturer for service (compare costs, benefits, schedule, availability of parts, effort, reliability, and anything else feel you is important and make a decision).  If you can, try to back up your data first, as it is likely the drive will be wiped clean in the process.

    You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (made on a different computer).  Boot this disk.  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  If this does not work, try to remove the hard drive and it enslavement to another computer and use this computer to access the drive and back up the data.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Failed to start error with crcdisk.sys Vista Home Premium

    Hello

    Windows Vista Home Premium boot failure

    Recently, I was not able to start properly under Vista Home Premium 32 bit.  I was directed to repair Startup that does not seem to solve the problem.

    This is the report I received:

    Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

    I loaded Windows recovery environment from a flash drive and so many startup repair and system restore will not work. all I get is a "Microsoft Corperation" and a green loading bar that loads without result.

    Before this failure, I started to feel a significant increase of the OS, boot time. then after, I ended in failure to start.

    In addition, Startup Repair said that the cause of this problem comes from a driver. If this is the case, how can I fix this with command prompt in Windows re?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Vista update: STOP 0x0000007b on crcdisk.sys

    I tried to apply the patches via Windows Update February, twice, twice completely streaked my Vista installation.

    What happens is that Windows Update downloads updates and application restart. The restart ends at STOP 0x0000007b.
    If I then boot in safe mode, I can see the boot process stop for about a minute with crcdisk.sys displayed, followed by the BSOD.
    The parameters are: STOP 0x0000007b (0x0c0000000e, 0 x 000000000, 0x080399bb0, 0 x 0000000).
    This happens both to the normal boot and safe, so the only solution I found was to reimage the computer.

    I have on my firewall on the computer 1, 2 anti-virus and 1 products anti-intrusion and surf using Firefox with several security extensions, so I guess that my computer is not infected.

    Ideas patch that is responsible for the problem and how to avoid it?

    However, I am not infected with rootkit Alureon, I have set my computer with Avast, Malwarebytes, McAfee and Spybot S & D scan.
    So I doubt rather requests above that Alureon is the sole cause of the BSOD.

    Rootkit TDSS [AKA Trojan W32/Alureon] has silently the net

    TDSS rootkit 3rd variant is the last member of the Tdss rootkit family that is spreading quickly all over the world. While a number of rootkits is just developed as a proof of concept, this is not the case. TDSS rootkit is well known corporate antivirus because of his goal to get full control over the infected computers and to use them as zombies for its botnet.

    During these years, that he has always shown a team of skilled people behind it, which always applied advanced techniques often able to bypass antirootkit software. In fact, this last Variant can be easily named as the stealth rootkit in the wild.

    This infection is having all the best of MBR rootkit, the best of the Rustock.C and the experience of the old Tdss variants. The result is an infection that spreads quickly on the net and it is not detected by almost all security software and 3rd party anti rootkit software. [emphasis]

    .. [20 Nov-09] terms no antirootkit is able to bypass disk filtering technical used by Tdss rootkit but, even if it were possible, this rootkit could not be detected by file size cross check because the size of infected files and original file are exactly the same.

  • Windows VISTA does not start - shows a green bar horizontal scrolling forever, safe mode stops at crcdisk.sys

    Windows Vista does not start.  It shows the horizontal scrolling green bar with microsoft (c) and then goes to a black screen with the mouse arrow that moves. Start in safe mode loads the drivers to the extent of the crcdisk.sys but meet once again at the black screen with the mouse arrow.   Have not the SATA drives connected.  Impossible to get to the command prompt to delete all files.  No work from safe mode.  Restore computer does not work.  I have looked at other posts regarding the renaming/deleting files, but cannot get to the command prompt to resolve this problem.  The computer is less than 2 years.

    Can someone give a help?

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    ·        The unit is able to reload Windows from this mode faster then CD.

    ·        The default password is 000000 (6 zeros) and it is shown when you are prompted for the password.

    ·        Users are able to change the password in this mode for eRecovery only.

    ·        The system can retrieve the hidden on the hard disk (partition PQService) image or a CD/DVD media.

    ·        It is possible to reload the factory CD/DVD style or snapshots that creates the eRecovery Windows version.

    2. in Windows, there are 3 ways to access eRecovery functionality.

    ·        Press Alt and F10

    ·        Open Acer eManager and then double-click eRecovery.

    ·        When a system is new it should automatically open this application and invite you to do the recovery media.

    3. the Windows version of the eRecovery program is stronger then the Dos Version. Below you will find the various features of the Windows version:

    Recovery settings: create backup files and change password

    ·        Picture of the backup snapshot (create a disk image of your system configuration)

    1. the system is able to make a CD/DVD image of the current state of mobile software including customer programs installed.

    2 backup copy using one of the snapshots has been filed or the original image on the D: partition.

    4. made eRecovery

    ·        When the hard drive is replaced the system loses its characteristics eRecovery. These features are on the hard drive and cannot be reinstalled.

    ·        When reinstalling from the CD/DVD's you will lose the eRecovery program but the DOS version can still function, as if uninstalled, you can not reinstall.

    ·        eRecovery uses Ghost (as well as the use of our recovery CD) to create snapshot images.

    ·        If the PQService partition is removed using fdisk or a utility under Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.

    ·        If the system is recharged using the DOS version, you will retain the eRecovery feature.

  • Vista hangs at crcdisk.sys

    Hello

    Another machine with a typical problem. My laptop Sony VGN-SZ290 primer not. When I do a boot to the top in safe mode, it hangs at crcdisk.sys. None of the other startup options not work either. I could do a memory scan and it came back clean. When it does not start, I have two options: 1) start Windows normally and repair Windows Run) 2. Neither one of those who will do anything, all I get is a white screen. In addition, like many people, I don't have a recovery disk. You would think that after paying $1,500, Sony could afford to spring for a $1 plastic coin, oh well. From what I see online, this is a common problem. Unfortuantely none of these solutions worked for me.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, you will still be able to use your product key.

    Yes, sony should be able to get a replacement hard drive. It would be covered by any warranty.

    Hello, forums:

    Okay, so I have problems with a full installation of Windows Vista (x 32).  I get the mode safe mode crcdisk.sys freeze with.  Normal mode is just stuck on a loading green bar slooow.

    Now, I've read countless sites on this issue, but nothing seemed to work.  All those who have problems had a pre-built system, or has been updated to XP.  I don't have that a facility tailor-made with nothing else on.  I know that said first thing would be to delete the c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys and pcmcia.sys, but I tried this several times and nothing starts later.

    Here are the specs of my machine:

    Motherboard Gigabyte H67M-D2-B3
    2 x 2 GB of ram (I removed a stick for installation)

  • Failure of Windows Vista and the SafeMode of startup failure - crcdisk.sys

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer 2 GB RAM. He had a few months now, and everything has been fine.

    Started a few days ago from freezing occasionally so I was forced to restart. CTRL + ALT + DELETE has refused to do anything and so I had to manually remove the battery.

    A frozen about three times and then once rebooted showed the BSOD saying something the system failure.

    So I rebooted once more and now it restarts just without going on the login screen. I tried to run in safe mode, but it gets stuck on crcdisk.sys or goes in an endless process to restart again.

    Is there anyway that I might be able to get back on without doing a full factory reset, as I have all my work stored on the hard drive integrated without backup.

    I can open the system recovery options, but none of these options seem to work. All my points of recovery have been removed.

    Startup Repair doesn't indicate a problem with the system, so I thought maybe it was a virus? The same thing happened to my wife a few days ago computer and that uses the same Wifi network as me.

    Jacob.

    To search for malicious software, you must do in Mode safe mode with networking, but you say that you can not get the Options.

    There is information below data recovery.

    And Startup Repair Info, too.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

  • crcdisk.sys interruption during the startup of Vista Basic on an E-machine

    Backround:

    I worked on this machine for about a week.  I'm sure it's a softeware and not a problem with the hardware to 90%.  I ran Startup Repair and corrects a problem with startups rehearsal where the machine would be blocking and I had to cut the power to restart the machine.  (By the way, the disk image I created with my machine for system recovery XP works fine but ultimately that the machine always stops before leaving).

    I don't think that the file crcdisk.sys is the problem.  I think it's loading the driver after that, but I knew how to say that whoever is.  I didn't go to c:/windows/system32/drivers and all files replaced by files from the backup of the system part and once again had the same problem.  The next thing I plan to do is to replace the directory with that of another Vista machine, but I did not understand how to get the files from one computer to another.

    Also, while searching with the command prompt, I discovered a number of files and directories that are as of 01/01/2029 to 03/01/2029.  It seems that some of these files are used, but I can't say to what extent.  I would also like to know where they came from since I never changed the date on this machine.  This difference in date might be part of the problem.

    The machine is preinstalled and I have no starup disk.  I tried to create with my other Vista machine, but he does not like my records.  Depending on the machine, they should be DVD/R, which is what I have.  Can what I missed and if I manage to create discs I use it on this computer to format and reinstall?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Recovery discs are made for an individual, make and model computer.

    For any questions/problems re eMachines recovery process, contact eMachines to the link above.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    Contact eMachines and ask them to send you a set of recovery Vista disc/s.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    See you soon.

  • Help! Unmountable boot volume / crcdisk.sys - tried everything - nothing works!

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give me help on my problem of vista.

    I'm having problems to start my laptop, it's an advent 5431. Whenever I turn it on the screen "Error Recovery" stands up and says that there is a hardware/software failure. It gives me two options: to run windows normally, or to run the Startup Repair tool. I tried both of them hundreds of times and once the bar green loading is complete (it takes more than the normal), I get a blue come from the screen to the top.

    The blue screen saying "Unmountable_boot_volume" and goes on to say "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down downto prevent damage to your computer. He told me also to check out the new hardware or software recently installed (which in my memory, I don't remember installing anything) and to disable the BIOS memory options such as cache/cloak which I'm not really sure I want to mess with.

    I did a bit of Googling and found out that it was most likely a corruption of the hard disk of a certain type. So I tried the Mode safe mode with network mode without failure and command prompt and after that what he goes through all the drivers they all get stuck on "crcdisk.sys", which I assume is most likely a corrupted file on my hard drive.

    Having bought a laptop from PC World / tech guys, it came with no installation disc, so I bought one of eBay hoping I could auto repair or even reinstall windows if I have to. I put it it tells me to press any key to boot from the CD/DVD, what I'm doing, and then the green bar will load on a black screen which takes about 10 minutes to load on white background in vista where I can see the mouse arrow icon, very slow indeed. I waited for 3 hours stuck on this Facebook got frustrated, so I turned it off. I tried a few times and is the farthest I have after selecting the language, a box appears, something on windows vista with the size of the partitions (which is 0 for some reason any) which I can't even click OK on because the hourglass is just there, I clicked around and the box has disappeared and then frozen again for centuries.

    I start to get to grips with this problem and would like to know if there is no solution to this? Any way to address this issue?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you
    Julie

    Hi Julie,.

    Ideally, by changing the BIOS default settings or change the sequence of the BIOS shouldn't cause problems. However, BIOS edit incorrect settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

    No, the replacement of the hard disk after you change the BIOS cause any problems. I suggest you to consult the manufacturer of the computer in this matter.

    You can try the following steps (skip these steps if you've already tried).

    Menu of boot options advanced access by pressing the F8 key when the computer is restarted > on the screen Advanced Startup Options >Select repair your computer option

    Now select command prompt recovery tool and run the disk check to repair the defective hard disk sectors.

    1. At the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.
    2. Now, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    You can also try the system restore from the recovery environment.

    Hope this information is helpful

    Thank you, and in what concerns:
