Infinite loop start after updating to Vista Home edition

I own a lenovo model 8705CTO mini tower PC.

At the end of July, an automatic update of Vista cannot install properly, which left the starting in a State sequence, appears:

"Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.

"Microsoft Vista Home Basic"

for 10 seconds, then

"Shutting down".

for a minute or two

and restart again in the same loop.
This loop lasted several hours.

With the help of:

"Rescue and Recovery - repair Express."

the following message is generated:

"Errors have been detected in the operating system."

"Click on files" reveals:

Details

Status of name
Bootmgr corrupt

The bootmgr file has 325 KB

Apparently, it was generated on 01/18/2008 and contains 333 203 bytes.

Operating system restore points prior facilities only are not available, since the automatic update has left the system with the restore than identical behavior points.

How can I recover without having to re - install the operating system from scratch?
It is advisable to remove the bootmgr file and it re - generate from scratch?
What is the procedure to achieve this?

Thanks for your response (s)

I have created the disk as described, as the 64-bit version. The standard disc worked and allowed me to use repair tools.
BTW, these are already shipped with the LENOVO system, and I consulted the tools off during the START-UP phase, then by restarting the PC.

The answer to the success of the recovery could be found here, after that I tried
"Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.
on Google and looking at various web pages:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/949358

(Restore points were crushed, because automatic updates have been selected, and the computer ran unattended for more than a week by substituting the last point valid restore as update VISTA tried to re - install the updates failed every night)

Method 3: Rename the Pending.xml file, and then change the registry notes read the following important notes before you use this troubleshooting method.

  • Use this method to resolve the symptom of restart that is described in the "Symptoms" section, so that you can back up data before you reinstall Windows. You must use this method of troubleshooting only if you plan to back up data and reinstall Windows.
  • Use this method only after trying other methods.

    Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on how to continue.

  • Use this method only if the computer has no restore points or if you cannot start your computer to a point where the system restore feature is available.
  • After using this method, the following conditions may exist until reinstalling Windows:
    • An update is being installed may not be installed correctly.

    • You may be unable to enable and disable certain Windows functions in option.
    • Certain optional Windows features may not work correctly.
    • The computer may be in an unprotected state.

  • My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

    original title: I have the same problem posted by Don Gagen on 16 April. My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

    I installed some updates Vista Home Basic important for my laptop on Wednesday, and since then, my computer won't start. I get to the first page of Windows that shows "Configuration updates 0% complete" for about 15 seconds and then restart the machine. This loop continues indefinitely. I spoke to the manufacturer (Dell) who say there have been some recent problems with the update service, and I have to pay (£69) to address this problem. I don't really want to pay for a repair, when the problem does not seem to have been caused by me or my computer. I tried all the options from the start menu, but there seems to be no way to solve this problem, for example, in 'Safe' Mode, the problem persists, and 'Last successful login' does not work either. It will not launch command prompt. I ran Dell diagnostic check before extended initialization and there seems to be nothing wrong with the hardware. I have no disks system of re - install Vista (and that I would lose all my data anyway). I can also access the ID of the license of Vista. The computer is no longer under warranty, and I have no agreement to support hardware or software for it.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion.

  • sfc/scannow foud the corrupted files after upgrade from Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Hello

    It is an event that I went through:

    (1) recently I received a bunch of updates to Vista Home Premium 32 bit, after I did the update I decided to perform sfc/scannow task and this is the error message I got the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to fix them." Details are provided in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS.log newspaper. For example c:\windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log

    Repair of system files change will take effect after the next reboot.

    (2) so I did restart and then try to run the sfc/scannow task once again, but I still got the same message I described in step 1 again. So basically sfc/scannow function did not repair the corrupted files.

    (3) the next step, I decided to perform a repair Installation of visa which took me 10 hours to complete the task, once the task of upgrading of repair has been made and before the windows update, I ran sfc/scannow task and this time he finds any corrupted files, but after I updated windows sfc/scannow result was the same as step 1.

    It is obvious to me that one of the updates of the origin of this problem, but find it me hard to pinpoint that one. So I am writing this e-mail to help and I hope that the problem will soon be solved. Please let me know if you need me to submit the CBS.log file for you to review thanks in advance.

    Can someone give me an answer to confirm if netbooks with Windows XP Home, Vista Home Edition, Windows 7 starter (these BONES other than professional or company) be used in a business, connected to the server environment to share files?

    I read somewhere that these permits cannot connect to a domain, is this true?

    Of coz these OS has not input parameters are even to join a domain, how can they connect?

    CAN, that my understanding of that statement means that it cannot be connected to a domain server, means that the netbook cannot be connected to the server to access files shared server?

    Can the netbook share files with other computers (vice versa), other than a domain server, on a network of companies?

    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.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
