I downloaded the iso file for vista, the restore disc but it not start when I restart my computer. what im supposed to do or am I missing something?
You need to change the boot sequence:
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work 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.
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.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. 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:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
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.
See you soon.

Hello - anyone can help me find a solution to my problem?
My problem: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or damaged. Status: Oxc000014C
I tried everything the sytem advised through SafeMode etc... Also, I tried to reload my OS - last updated through the windows update site. However, he did not - probably because all updates from MS, which means that it would not load from the DVD.
It's a whole new system customized with MS Vista 64 bit, Office 2007 Untimate, Asus MB, 250 GB HD ATI video card. I used Vista for almost a year and had no problems until today. All of the original software.
I have my thesis and several files, I was working on someone - I was doing consulting work to supplement my income as a student... Unfortunately, when I finally used my system last night it was ok. Now I canoe get my system up and running.
Mark Merci for your comments.
I found myself communicating directly with Microsoft and they were able to get my system up and running without losing me data. Hooray for Microsoft!
My system is back to normal and I am assuring you that all my files are backed up on DVD.

the system registry file is missing or damaged
When I try to load up vista premium 32 bit edition on my laptop, a screen will appear and say the system registry file is missing or damaged and the custom of vista so load up, I just need my pictures of my son on my hard drive, all the rest does not matter, I even tried to use one of these inclosures of hard drive to see if I can get the data on the hard drive on my other computer laptop but has not been successful, I just need to know how to recover the system registry file on.
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. System Restore restores the registry among other things, and this should solve your problem. You should probably use the facility or the recovery disc to access this feature.
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 necessary, you may need to do this drive on another PC / laptop).
I hope this helps.
Good Lluck!

Unable to laod Windows because the system registry file is missing or damaged
Is there a way to restore a corrupt registry file?
usually, when you receive a message citing the "missing" files, then it may be simply that they became not indexed by the master file table, e.g. mft.
a check disk running will be re - indexing the file system.
so if the computer is everything just starts plu, then you will have to start with a windows cd and get to the prompt of disk and run the commands >: chkdsk /r
Incidentally, I don't know if you could use a bootable xp cd to boot the recovery console.
If this isn't the case, then here are the exact steps for vista:

Windows not boot system registry file is missing, damaged
The message I get is "the system registry file is missing, damaged" I have the restore option, to start in SafeMode etc but nothing works, it always brings back me to the same screen. I did a check on the hard drive and he said that there is an error. What can I do? I don't have a vista cd. Thanks for any advice.
What is your computer brand and model?
What virus protection software is installed on your computer.
Can you please post a full error message complete.
A likely scenario is that you need to restore factory settings, which is a shredder process removing all data files and programs added since the computer was purchased. If you want to recover your data files, this should be done before you try to fix your computer.
To recover your data files, you need a second computer to access the drive to read and copy the files to the second computer and on removable media for resettlement on the first computer after repair. There are two ways to retrieve data. Method 1 is to place the first computer's hard drive in a USB external hard drive enclosure to connect the case to the second computer. Method 2 is to remove the hard drive from the original computer and place it in a spare drive Bay and connect as a second hard drive. For method 2 be a viable option the two computers must be either computers desktop or laptops as desktop computers have 3.5 "internal hard drives and internal laptop drives 2.5" computers. For method 1, you simply purchase the appropriate forum for the drive.
There is no guarantee that you will be able to recover the data, but you can usually if you have a damaged on a viable hard disk operating system. In some cases, you don't have to resort to the company a restore to the factory settings, but most of these options depend on having a system CD. Walter is indicating that there may be ways to acquire a CD but you need to the right one for your computer.
The process of reconstruction of a computer system can be a difficult task, for the first time, it is committed. You must decide if you want to do or if you feel more comfortable taking the computer to a small computer repair shop
