Error Windows Vista Startup Repair

My HP PC was working great until yesterday.  My son worked on Microsoft word and trying to launch Mozilla Firefox when the PC froze on him.  He tried to restart but failed to start.  He tried to use the system to repair, but it failed.  Attempts to mulitple system restore function have not as well.  Trying to avoid wiping the hard drive, so I thought I'd post the error here and see if he had any suggestions.  Repairing the system fails with the search for the following bugs:

Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88d1a2e0, 0x88d1a42c, 0 x 82232650
Unknown error checking: f4 error checking.  Parameters = 0 x 3, 0x88ce4d90, 0x88ce4edc, 0 x 82270650

The operating system is Windows Vista Home Edition.  I can't get into the PC via the mode without failure or any other means.  The only options seems to be via the command prompt, although I have not yet tried.

All appreciated the thought...

·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, proceed as follows (some does not apply if you use the recovery disk - but to be honest I don't know if it will work with only a recovery disc):

1 put the Windows Vista installation disc (or the recovery disk) in the disk drive, and then start the computer.

2. press a key when you are prompted.

3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

4. click on repair your computer.

5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

·        c:

·        Boot CD

·        BCD attrib s h - r

·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

·        Bootrec /RebuildBcd

If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly, click the F8 key during the boot and go into safe mode with network - or do it from the command prompt on the drive).  Then we will check some of your system files:

Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (skip this step if you are using the disk)...

Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer - if you use the command line, type eventvwr and enter).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html

Good luck and I hope this helps!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    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

    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.

  • For Windows vista: Startup Repair couln t repair problem

    I am trying to repair a laptop from a friend, but I'm new to this kind of thing and it's a problem starting. I don't think I have a hardware problem because I have the video but I can't load the operating system and I ranstartup repair, but he could not fix the problem. I received this message:

    Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

    Signature of the problem:
    Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

    The problem started when my friend has installed updates, unfortunately I do not know what they are, and she said that she did not bring any modification other than recently. If you need more info I can try to help, but I'm kinda at a loss of what to do something without possible srewing up.

    What is the startup problem?  Are there any error messages, and if so what is the EXACT text (including all codes)?  Which version of Vista is?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Windows vista Startup Repair will not stop running

    Hi hope someone can help

    When I boot computer it goes to startup repair and custom automatically stops running same thing that happens when I use safe mode. Recently, we used the system restore, it worked fine until we used the Startup Repair
    Thanks for any help you can give

    Hi, Gretaevan2,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    * If this happens even in safe mode, then it is possible that the hard drive is the source of the problem.

    You can try the following steps:

    STEP 1: Try to perform the disk check and see if there are errors.

    See the following knowledge base to perform the disk check: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    STEP 2: Try the SFC Scan now.

    See the following knowledge base to run SFC Scannow: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

    If, in case, the step above does not help, try to perform the system restore to an earlier date when everything was working well.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

    Best regards, Vishal B. Microsoft Support Engineer answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

  • MS Vista startup repair couldn't fix the problem automatically

    Hello

    A little history - MS Vista was trying to install updates when the delivered system running. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked very well.

    When I re-started again after using it, even once, he tried to install updates. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked fine again. I went through the whole process several times in recent weeks.

    Then the other day, I got this screen start that says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. Since then, I can't get the computer started.

    The details of the problem are shown as:

    First cause is to the states that "Startup Repair tried several times but still not determine the cause of the problem."

    If I have to re - install the operating system again... I was not given a CDROM as a HP laptop... How can I actually re - install, when I do not have the CDROM?

    Also, I have some very important folders on the hard drive and I want to recover the files first before reinstalling the operating system...

    Any advice on how I can get before I have to destroy it by reinstalling the operating system would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks to you all.

  • Windows 7 - Startup Repair

    Separated from this thread.

    Well, the computer had problems in the past as not having spent my home screen, but it was not too bad before. After some few downloads, the computer suddenly stopped working or has worked very slowly. Then, I turned it off. I turned on her and I couldn't get past the Windows logo without error message popping up and automatically restart my computer. I tried to run the Startup Repair tool, but there is no that get stuck on a screen. I tried the mode without failure, boot, logging, and the last known good configuration, but the same error message popped up. I even tried the option to restore memory and he has not been able to pick up something wrong. My computer is a Windows 7. Now, you will be able to help me, or is my computer gone for good?

    Hello

    Startup Repair works often from an Installation of Windows 7 or Windows 7 disc
    ERD when it does not value or a recovery disc. If necessary
    How a Windows 7 repair disk is below. An ERD can be made
    on any computer with a CD burner running Windows 7, Vista or XP because it uses
    No files from the host computer.

    You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends who are not
    protected against copying. The manufacturer of your system will also sell cheap since physical DVD
    you already have windows. You can also do an ERD on another computer.

    Try the Startup Repair - (if at ANY time benefit you from some, but not full access to the Windows)
    Go back and try again to startup repair.)

  • problems with windows vista startup

    2 days ago, that my computer was running an update. the computer has been accidentally disabled during the upgrade. the next day I got tired of the laptop start but I couldn't access it. When I turn on the laptop it says ""windows is not stopped successfully", then it gives me the opportunity to start in"safe mode","course with the command' or 'normal startup'.» When I click on one of these options, it takes me to the screen where I choose which user to log as long as. After I click on the user, I want to open a session on a black screen appears and it does not change. I see the cursor and I am able to move, but that's all I can do. in 'normal' mode, I try ctrl + alt + delete, but nothing happens (no window opens). in safe mode, I do ctrl + alt + delete and the window but when I click on restart, closed, logoff, or one of the options, nothing happens. I end up having to close the cpu by holding down the power button. I have no cd startup/recovery. I tried the F8 option but nothing happens. Please help me!

    Hello

    In Safe Mode does not allow to do something, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

    1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
    2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
    3. Advanced Tools Overview
    4. Conclusion

    If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

    Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

    Here is a link to it:

    ___________________________________

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

    http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    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.

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

    Data recovery, if required:

    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.

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

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. click on repair your computer.

    f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

    See: How can I fix a startup (startup)?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

    Method 2: If above method fails, then run the command chkdsk WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and check if it solves the problem:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

    Note: Select command prompt from the system recovery options and follow the mentioned below as follows:

    Type the following command and press ENTER.

    Chkdsk /r

    Note: Chkdsk /r command erases / corrupted hard disk data corrections. Some of your personal files/data may be erased.

    Original title: Windows Vista upgrade to Windows boot disk boot manager is located in the computer but will not start up installation disc

    Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe

    Hi WillieGuyton,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

    (4) what is the number of brand and model of your computer?

    Method 1:

    Step 1: disconnect any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

    How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

    Run the tool to restart system as shown in the link below
    How to use Startup Repair?


    Method 2:

    Step 1:

    Set the first boot device in the DVD in BIOS to boot from the Windows Installation DVD. To do this, see the documentation that came with the computer.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below for the restoration of the Boot Configuration database (BCD) store

    Hello, from today my laptop crashes when you try to start. It has Windows Vista on it, instead of loading the login welcome screen to connect on my vista, it shows a BLACK screen with the grey wire written and motivated to choose: Startup Repair or start windows normally.  When you press start windows normally the seat right screen "Please wait" I have let it sit here for over 3 hours and still it says, please wait.  So I quit and restart, to choose the Start Up Repair option, immediately he embarks on a BLUE screen with the c000021a fatal system error code, then 0 x 00000000 (0xc0000102 0x0010037c).

    So I restart to press F8, and then choose "Last known good configuration" then it goes to the screen before the newspaper with the scroll bar, green but is right here and does not progress to the Welcome screen.

    When you choose Safe mode and networking in safe mode it freezes on the waiting screen please.

    There is no way for me to access the start menu, as this error prevents the full load of the system...

    In addition, the computer was purchased through DELL and of course DELL does not send on the window vista of disk operating system is delivered... NO, I do not have access to the dvd of re - install.
