• Vista no longer starts after replacing the motherboard

  Pavilion p6157c has been cut and required a new motherboard.  It was replaced by the closest match we could find (an ASUS M3N78-VM replaced the M2N78 - LA, that both share the same chipset).  Nothing else has changed (same HDD, memory, CPU).  Now that Vista does not start.  I can get the recovery menu, but all the options before you reset the system to factory settings failed.  We can do it, but it seems crazy to have to reinstall everything in this situation.

  I used the HARD drive as an external drive on another system to make sure that the drive works and is read.  I have read and save.

  Vista and Office on this system are OEM (no disk).  Other forums, I've got the indication that I'll have to get a new copy of Windows and do a full install.  Is this my only option?

  So, here's how the problem was resolved later...

  1 created the Vista disk as described in the post of Paul

  2 removed the original hard drive and installed a new drive

  3 use the Vista disc to install Vista on the new drive (used my own license)

  4 reinstalled the drivers

  5 downloading and installing LapLink PCmover Image Assistant

  6. install the old drive as a secondary drive

  7 use PCmover to recover data and applications on the old drive (this worked pretty well)

• Windows Vista no longer starts after re-installation (cursor black screen, white after installation)

  A few days ago I decided that I wanted to start my Dell Inspiron 1720, back to square one. I knew that there are a few options, so I tried to restore. I realized it let me only a month back in time and my computer was slow for about a year now. I looked through my manual that came with my laptop and decided to unstack reinstall drive in and all re - install Windows Vista. I realized after I put the disk in and from the installation, I forgot to disable my anti-virus (trend pro microphone). I don't know if this is causing the problem, but after the installation, I get a black screen with a white cursor. I let it sit for about 4 hours before I decided to restart my laptop. Once I rebooted, it wouldn't let me normally, start in safe mode, or start from the last successful boot. I then tried to fix with my Vista DVD and who do not have too much work. I also tried the restore and it tells me that I am running in a low state of diagnosis and it cannot be done. I tried to reinstall vista twice since then and I'm out of ideas. Help, please! I forgot to add, when I try to start in safe mode, it stops at the ckcdisk.sys (I think it's called).

  millsx89,

  When you install Windows Vista on the 1720 Insp, you need to install the SATA drivers during installation. That's why your system stops at this point. You can also boot into the bios by pressing F2 and changing the Sata in ATA instead of AHCI operation. And then install windows. You will need to change it back once you have installed windows and loaded the drivers.

  Thank you

• I have a HP laptop with vista that no longer starts.

  I have a HP laptop with vista that no longer starts. I get the initial screen of HP and can access the configuration, but after that, all I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor. I ran the diagnostic test on my hard drive and it happened, but my computer still does not start.

  Hi Shannon6836,

  1. Since when are you facing this problem?
  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before the question?

  3. are you able to boot in safe mode?

  See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.

  Method 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
   
  If you are able to start in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned below to complete the restore of the system:
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore
  Note: System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos. You can only restore files that you have deleted if you have made backups of these files.
   
  Method 2:
   
  I suggest you to disconnect all devices external one except keyboard and mouse and try to start your computer and check if it helps.

  Method 3:

  If the Startup Repair tool is an option of recovering preinstalled on your computer:
  a. remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.

  Restart the computer

  b. do one of the following:
  i. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.
  
  II. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
  III. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select repair your computerand press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include startup as a preinstalled recovery option repair).

• Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

  Hello world

  I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

  I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

  So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

  Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

  Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

  If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

  Thanks in advance!

• Windows Vista does not start or repair

  I get a black screen, can't get into safe mode but can get bios.  Haven't tried to do a repair with the DVD of Vista, but when asked to choose an operating system to repair there is no choice.  So I can't fix or recover.  Why is this?  What should I do?  Vista is running on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.  Had no problems with it over the past two years.  I'm new doing a restore or a repair, but it seems that I have do everything correctly so far.  Can't understand why I can't choose an operating system to repair.

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

• Vista does not start after I disabled the service DCOMLauncher

  Hi all.   I really hope that someone can help me with this, because I can't use my computer at all, and I have to use a notebook different to write this post.

  The problem: Windows Vista does not start with the normal settings or Mode without failure.   To be more precise, after Vista starts, he has only a black screen and a limited mouse functionality.

  The background & problem: I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.   I have disabled the DCOMLauncher Service using the program Autoruns from Sysinternal.

  What I tried: I tried to start Vista in Mode safe with no result.

  Thanks to all those who are trying to help me.

  When you choose Safe Mode choose last known good startup.

  As long as your subsequent boots are deemed unsuccessful, which is perhaps not the case, this will start the configuration before using Autoruns.

  Safe Mode command prompt works?

• I removed a secondary hard drive but now Vista will not boot. I tried startup repair, but failed. What alternatives are there?

  It is a desktop computer that I built myself, so I have no tech support. Until I removed the hard drive, I formatted to remove all data. Since then, Vista does not start. I used my installation disc to repair Vista, but that has failed. I tried the system restore, which was a success, but Vista still does not start. What else can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello itisallgeektome,

  Open Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management, and then in the next window, click on disk management. When the disk management window opens look down the list of partitions and see if you have a "system reserved" partition This is where the system files are stored.

  If you have installed the drive 'after' that you installed vista, then I accept the boot files would not be on the second drive, but it seems strange that the windows repair option will not correct the bootloader. However, by doing an inplace upgrade this will re - install windows vista (but it will not, or should not affect your files/programs (However it might be useful to back up all the important files that you cannot just in case beed)). As a complete reinstallation is completed, it will create a new bootloader in the process.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Vista fails to start on mv61xx.sys, error 0xc0000221

  My system suddenly no longer starts. The good news is: I managed to fix it and put the solution below, so that anyone can benefit from. The bad news is that the Vista recovery has some (at least for me) unexplained oddities that I'd like to get an answer to. So, lets describe.

  Symptom:

  -The PC stops in the process of starting with a critical failure. Fault that it displays "mv61xx.sys" says it also displays 0xc0000221 error code

  -mv61xx.sys is related to a driver SATA/IDE of Marvel. The error code is related to a Windows driver cannot load, is not present or because it is corrupt.

  Solution:

  -Reset CMOS on the motherboard (Asus P5Q) using the CMOS jumper, remove the CMOS battery and remove the power cord to reset.

  Remarks: (follow the questions below):

  -Note that the solution is nowhere about the problem that Vista has reported. Vista has indicated that it cannot load a driver for some, because it is missing or damaged.

  -Recovery of starting Windows (via the installation DVD) has not solved the problem.  It indicates the fault 0xc0000221 code (probably found it in a log file) and suggests using a previous system restore point to cure the problem. Has done this, but the problem had not gone away.

  -Then, I decided to use the recovery console. The "sfc/scannow" command did not complete, it gave an error. I googled the problem and found that this error can be bypassed by giving sfc additional parameters: "sfc/SCANNOW damaged = C: \ /OFFWINDIR =" C:\WINDOWS "

  -sfc reported no problem. So it's weird: boot Vista reports that a driver file is missing or damaged, but sfc has no problem

  - As an experiment, in the recovery console, I've renamed the driver mv61xx.sys (in C:\windows\system32\drivers) in mv61xx.bak. I restarted my PC. The behavior is different: this time the 0xc0000221 error does not appear, it just went to a black screen. Which makes me think that Vista was previously able to load the driver for mv61xx.sys, otherwise the error reported would be the same.

  -Then I started from DVD, check if sfc was able to detect that I deleted the driver mv61xx.sys (renaming). I ran sfc and... sfc reported no problems, nothing has been repaired.

  So my questions boil up to:

  -Why Vista report a problem with a corrupted driver or missing mv61xx.sys while the symptoms above strongly suggest that the problem lies elsewhere

  -Why the SFC command in recovery console does not repair the mv61xx.sys driver that I have renamed in mv61xx.bak.

  Thank you. Roland.

  (for the answer to the problem, please see the first post in this thread)

  Hi Lorien,

  first of all, thank you for your quick response. BTW, I was unable to boot from the HARD drive when 0xc0000221 error, I found myself stuck in the middle of the boot process, in a black screen with white characters. The only way I could try the recovery was starting from my Vista installation DVD.

  I don't think that the cause of the problem was a missing or corrupted driver (which was what Windows has reported with error 0xc0000221). I think that I could solve the problem by resetting my CMOS. The problem is now completely gone, even on several boots.

  Now with my PC to the top and runs again, I went into the device by your advice Manager. I see only one exclamation point in there that seems to be independent: an adapter (Microsoft ISATAP, probably a virtual network adapter) has a problem loading.  The node relevant in ("Marvell 61xx controller RAID') Device Manager, when you double click it, shows status"this device works properly.". The driver version is 1.2.0.57, it has been WHQL' ed.

  I also studied the event viewer on your suggestion. I don't see any entry with this error 0xc0000221. Which is probably logical: because Windows cannot gain access to this driver, it has limited access to the disk (because the driver is associated with disk: it is a RAID controller), so Windows cannot save the error on the disc.

  So, overall, with my post I have three objectives:

  -Raise awareness of other users a possible fix if they encounter the same problem as me

  -(optionally) to improve the quality of the SFC utility

  -(possibly) improve feedback that Windows gives to the user at boot fails

  -Improve my understanding of the recovery process

  So, back to the SFC. You noted that SFC checks all system files, just a subset. But I expect that the system files that are considered "critical" for Windows are in this subset. However, with mv61xx.sys, this doesn't seem to be the case: Windows reported at the start that he couldn't continue the start because this file is critical for the system, but CFS seem to have another opinion. Could not check if mv61xx.sys is really not in the list of files that SFC analysis?

  Secondly, is it possible that the mv61xx.sys pilot bails out with a 0xc0000221 error code, and Windows boot wrong is reported as a type of "load driver" of the problem, so that everything else goes wrong?

  I looked into your profile and noticed that you do not work for Microsoft. So if you can not answer my questions, I can understand that, since there are rather thorough type of questions, so I guess that only someone from Microsoft can answer those. In this case, would you happen to have a suggestion for a person or a contact forum?

  Thank you

  Roland.

• Vista will not start after start or restart.

  Since last week, when I first start the computer, change user or log out or reboot, Vista does not start after the log in password stage (after accepting the password). I usually have to restart the computer twice so he could finally enter the Office of habit and I can work as usual.

  I tried to let the computer some time at this point to work through and start normally, but it does not work and I have to restart.

  I recently updated my anti-virus (BitDefender) for the 2010 edition.

  I don't know if is the recent update to Vista which is originally or not.

  Uninstall Bit Defender and see if that fixes things. Antivirus programs use low-level drivers which can sometimes cause problems. If the uninstallation of Bit Defender work, use a different antivirus. I recommend ESET NOD32 (commercial) or Avast free. If Bit Defender Uninstalling does not help, then you may experience hardware problems. Failing power supply or hard drive that often produces symptoms such as you describe.
