  But the laptop still wont start I tried to run chkdsk/r from the command line and was unable to do as he says Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected. I don't know what to do now anyone no matter what ideas thanks in advance.

  Seems odd. Startup Repair should have solved the problem.

  Have you tried new reboot running?

  Give it a shot...

  Any chance that you have a "backup computer?

  Try to do a full restore of the PC.

  See how it goes...

  Hello Buzbyb6,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I have a few questions to help you solve your problem.

  • When you try to start you get a blue screen? If so, then try to get the error code number that appears. This will give us more insight as to what might be causing your problem.
  • You can start safe mode? Press F8 boot to Vista. then select Safe Mode.

  Some of the things that might cause this problem would be a corrupt file system, bad Ram, or a defective hardware.

  • If you can access the SafeMode. Run CHKDSK to fix the file system. Go to a command prompt and type chkdsk/r
  • Check the RAM with Memtest since a bootable floppy or CD. www.memtest.org
  • Check the disk for bad sectors.
  • If it's just a damaged OS, backup your data and run recovery to restore Windows to its factory condition.

  If please post again and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance.

• Vista won't start and F8 does not work

  I got a SONY VGN-SR140D laptop, when I try to start the system. It behaves as follows:

  
  

  After past the Sony logo it enters a black screen with an indicator of underscore flashing on top of the left hand and remains there goes no where.

  I try to press F8, it does not work. However I still be able to get into the bios.

  I use windows vista DVD to start the system and perform the Startup Repair, but it shows that there is no error. Can I use the memory diagnostic tool to check the memory, but it will not display any errors. Therefore, I use the command prompt to perform the disk check, it displays no error.

  After all, I'm trying to restore to the last point, it shows that I don't have a restore restore point. As a result, I am stuck here, please help.

  
  

  Hello

  Looks like there is some kind of hardware problem. Check with a real store of the computer (not the leeks and pics
  at a Best Buy or other department stores) or the Sony Support.

  Data may be saved by placing the hard drive on another computer as 2nd car, or in a
  box external USB drive - or you can copy the data to removable media such as CD, DVD.
  or other USB keys.

  You should be able to do a clean install of Windows which would require programs to be reinstalled
  and the data restored from backups (see above). That might not work system exists without repair.

  You get to advance boot menu options if your computer stopped unexpectedly on the previous session. Do you have any external device connected to your computer?

  Since it is a random question, I recommend you remove all external devices except the keyboard and mouse and check what is happening. Also, you can try to use his computer in start state in minimum mode for a period of time and check if you are experiencing the same.

  To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after starting the computer, reinstall and run the program and see if the problem is resolved.

  Check if you have the same problem... If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

• Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

  I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

  I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

  I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

  Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

  I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

  I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

  Hi James,

  Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

  I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

  Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

  A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

  B. restart your computer.

  C. Si you are 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 menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

  Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

  Access the link below to learn more about Windows recovery options in Windows Vista.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

  If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

  Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

  You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

• HP Pavilion A6700y Desktop using Win Vista won't start up

  I bought a HP Pavilion model a6700y desktop running Windows Vista in November 2008. I plugged it in for the first time June 2014, after the installation, I registered it with HP and since it has been recorded, it has not completed a full boot sequence. He won ' stay long enough to download and install any updates. She is exceeded for any type of technical support of HP, so I'm on my own. Anyone have any ideas why this computer does not start? FYI - the BIOS battery maintains the date and time.

  Buy a used computer from a place like Craigs list is a roll of the dice, you really don't know what you have found.

  It seems to me that option 2 would be the obvious choice, at least you know what as your having and it's a reasonable price to pay.  Mark the message that better help as solved if you wish.  The decision is yours.

  When you retrieve the computer and it is healthy, I suggest that you make every week a backup image to restore your computer to an exact copy, you have now, including the OS, programs and data.  In this way, you will avoid all the hassles that you had.  I suggest to Macrium reflect free site, Yoda would be proud of you:

• Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

  Hello

  I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
  The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

  I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

  I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

  I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

  Hello

  According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
  I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

  One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

  If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
  I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

• Satellite A660 - 10 X sometimes won't start - screen black startup

  Hello

  _sometimes_ my Satellite A660-10 x (PSAW3E) usually start.
  I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.
  If I do this 3 - 5 times then it starts. Sometimes it starts on the first attempt.

  What I tried:
  Reinstall the PC since the partition of drive with Win7
  Out of HARD drive in my desktop PC and CHKDSC running with analysis and correct errors.
  Cleaning of all the PC of dust, fans etc.
  Pulling out / in battery/AC
  Check the memory (RAM)
  Processor power management change the State of the minimum 5% to 100% CPU

  I understand PC, but this day have no idea what can cause this. The only thing that comes to mind is that the partition at the beginning of the disk contains errors that I can't reach because there a boot partition, partition original installation and the rest which is the only one, I can not reach with CHKDSC.
  I heard someone tried changing battery of motherboard (small round), it can it be?

  It doesn't seem to be the disc or the problem of the LCD screen, or RAM memory.

  > I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.

  Cursor blinking in the upper left is a well-known landmark and could be related to defective RAM or HARD disk memory problems.

  Verification of memory could be carried out, and in my experience, these controls provide memory about the correct results. But even if verification of memory would not find any problem of RAM, it could still be a nuisance RAM.

  Of course, I can't say with certainty, if his RAM related question or maybe its related to other defective part.
  Fact is that this problem is caused by problems of material and in the worst case that the motherboard needs to be replaced.

• Windows Vista won't start after installation of microsoft updates

  I just install microsoft updates, then the computer is turned off and it does not load windows.  A box appears that says
  Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library.
  This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.  For more information, contact the application support team.

  The options are to click OK or close the box.  I tried both and it just keeps popping up the same box as above.

  Hi Mas_007,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I have a few here that might solve the problem.

  A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

  To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

  (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

  (2) enable half the services

  (3) determine whether the problem returns

  (4) enable half of the startup items

  (5) determine if the problem returns

  (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

  I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

  i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Additional information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.
  All the best!

• Vista won't start after the last update of Silverlight - restarts constantly

  I installed the latest version of Silverlight from Microsoft Update, July 21.  There are 2 updates, but the other would not move.  My computer worked nomally and later when I stopped it, I got the "Configuring updates... do not turn off your computer" message.  It seemed to take a while, so I went to bed and the next morning, I saw that the computer had finally stopped.  I started it and I got the message "configuration updates stage 3 of 3." 0% complete.  Do not turn off your computer. "After anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes, it restarts.  She's constantly - he keeps just reboot and it displays the updates configuration message.  In the System Recovery Options, Startup Repair indicates that everything is OK.  "System Restore" to go to the restore point previous does not work.  What can I do?  The only other option and restore utility is all erase and install the drive from the factory.

  I have Windows Vista, the latest service pack and updates.  I have F-Secure anti virus/firewall.

  He has also failed to the previous Microsoft Update a week or 2 but it gave an error code of that time.  I looked at the error to Microsoft code and it says that the update log was full and there was a command to enter to remedy.  I did that and installed the update and everything was fine.  Unfortuately I have more error code or order more.

  Perhaps related to this problem?  My computer is pretty much dead now after Silverlight updated because it constantly restarts.

  Don't boot from the XP CD.

  Do an ERD of VistaBootable of the info below:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  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.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

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

  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 repair disc.

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

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

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