Vista will not load and continually reboots, recovery disk does not start.

I have a Dell with vista on it. Recently, it has automatically installed an update and now it does not load Windows at all. It goes to the screen where I have the opportunity to "start in safe mode" "safe mode with command promt", "last known good configuration" etc. and none of these work options (all start loading them upwards and then the computer restarts just itself).

I tried to put in the cd of installation for vista, but it won't start. I changed the options in the BIOS so that it starts from the CD first, but then it just goes to another blue screen that says: there was some sort of system faliure, and the only option is to restart the computer.

I also tried to connect an external dvd player to see if he was not playing the disc because of a defect in material, but the same thing happens.

I also tried out the RAM and it put it back again (a single website suggested I try this).

Nothing seems to work! And now, I am out of options and have no idea what to try next - help!

If it does not start where install Recovery DVD from Dell, you will need to contact Dell at the above address.
As you say, you have changed the boot on the appropriate drive order and still nothing

It would seem that you have a deeper problem that just a straight reinstall the problem.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

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

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  • Vista will not start. Verifying the integrity of system files and repair has no ErrorCode = 0 x 2 HELP PLEASE!

    ASUS PC, Windows Vist Home premium, all updates.

    Out of the blue, it will not start.  Access the start scrolling (the one just before logon) screen and it just stops.

    Twice I ran Vista check utility.  The first time, I chose to do the system restore to previous state.  Restarted.  Always off.  The second time, it took much longer and from what I can see.  All TESTS PASS, except one:

    Repair action: repair and checking of the filesystem Integrety

    Result: failed. Error code = 0 x 2

    Time required: 6206818ms

    I get no blue screen, I can't even any screen!

    I'm triying to repar because I have several costly software titles that link the authorization key code to a key hardware and software installation.  I don't know that I could reinstall if I get a code (randomly?) different generated software.

    I don't know about i-tunes and other content downloaded my wife has such as MP3 files and audio books.

    Thanks for any help!

    The test fails (SFC) checks for corruption in the files on your system.  If she can't even complete, she suggests the Vista all system needs to be re-installed - but you have already done this and you still have the problem.

    In fact, look like a hardware problem.  Here are some troubleshooting guidelines hardware that can help (but probably not for this question as what you really need, it is a replacement for test):http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.  Frankly, I think it's time to take the system to a repair facility of good reputation for the service computer (or to return to the manufacturer for repair - costs, schedule, guarantees and make a decision).  I don't know what hardware component.

    If you can, try to back up your data before you import it it because they will probably wipe the drive clean during the process. You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (perhaps done on another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, try slaving the drive to another system and access the data in this way.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Watch only the menu with 2 options: first "fix the system" - when I choose this option 10 seconds later I see messeage: click OK to turn off the computer.
    When I choose the second option in my laptop restart every time.

    I tried after turning on the computer, press F8, but all the option in this menu do NOT fix the problem.
    I have no CV/DVD to my computer.
    After the first time I don't burn DVD with backup.

    I have really now how can I install system with recovery patriction. What softwere I need and how do I do it?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
    In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

    But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

  • Vista will not start and the recovery disc does not

    Hey all,.

    Vista has just started to freeze during the boot at crcdisk.sys today

    I tried using the recovery disk, but it won't work, says the root prolem is corrupt system or something like that.

    If you need more information please ask!

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Yes, it would make a difference to what is the Startup Repair tool. Vista startup repair only works on his own Bootstrapper. You replaced one with GRUB, so you should use the ' nix tools to fix it. However, you indicated earlier that the problem occurs after the start load Vista, so this isn't something the Startup Repair tool will correct and is not likely to solve your problem.

    Your running recovery disk will also likely be wipe the GRUB bootloader, but you don't really have a lot of options when it comes to a corrupted installation. If you are unable to correct the problem to running chkdsk, then it is unlikely that any other action will work. You're stuck with the relocation.

  • Vista will not start on my laptop, tried many different things and nothing seems to work

    Hello.  Before we begin, I want to say that I spent the previous two days, researching my problem and have not yet find something that describes my specific problem...

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario C700, I received my mother-in-law a few years ago.  It is installed with Vista (SP2 I believe, I can't confirm as you'll see below) and I got Vista point random other problems experienced, but I've usually been able to find an adequate solution - up to and including restoring to a previous restore point.

    Two days ago my laptop decided not to start Windows.  When I turn on the laptop, I get the usual Compaq splash showing the different options that are accessible through the F keys.  The screen then goes, after displaying the message "ready for the OS to boot".  It then goes to a white screen that displays a flashing cursor (like a prompt command, just without the drive/directory indicator).  The hard drive light flashes every 30 seconds, or so, but it is y no movement in the HARD drive that I can not hear it or feel run as I usually can.

    At this point, my first step was to use the option of recovering your system of the Compaq splash screen, but leading to the same blinking cursor and a white screen.  Then I went into the BIOS and confirmed the boot order was OK and ran the Self Test on the HARD drive and memory, which gave rise to no problems found.

    It was my first choice because, as you have probably guessed, the laptop came preloaded with Vista and my mother-in-law had no startup disk.  As a result, I found a boot/recovery iso disk for Vista SP2/SP3 and burned it on a CD.  When I boot from it, I get the initial page, offering to install Vista with a link to the System Recovery Options.

    The first option, I ran has the Startup Repair.  It only detected no problems with the commissioning.

    Then, I used the system restore option, trying to restore to each of the 7 restore points, of which none has solved the problem.

    Finally, I opened the command prompt and tried a chkdsk c: command found no problems with the HARD drive.  I didn't run the command chkdsk c:/f/r as read-only mode has not found no problem to be fixed.  I was reading a few forums different tech and found a post suggesting to try the sfc/scannow command...  I tried, you enter at the prompt like:

    X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW (X:\ is my DVD drive) (Oh and I am the administrator, I believe.)  The title bar of the command prompt window displays "Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe")

    He returned "start system analysis. This process will take time. "Then, about 5-10 seconds and I get"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation ".  So I tried to change my directory to C:\ and run the same command and got the same results.  Then I tried to go to D:\ which is a small partition of my HARD drive and it ran there, with the same results.  So, I tried the following commands:

    Damaged X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW = c: \ /offwindir = c:\windows

    Damaged X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW = d:-/offwindir = d:\windows

    These are not returned the "start scanning system. This process will take some time. "message, but they returned the same message from Windows Resource Protection.

    Finally, I removed the battery, disconnect the AC adapter, pressed the power button in the hope to evacuate any overage charges into the motherboard, waited 5 minutes, plugged the adapter back, turned on and still have the same problem.  Other forums started suggesting withdrawal and re - insert RAM chips, disconnect and reconnect the drive of HDD or DVD and other hardware items that I really hope I don't have to deal with - I'm kind of klutsy when it comes to playing with the material and I really don't want to take the risk of breaking something.

    Anyone, anywhere, has all the possible suggestions?  I don't have an Installation of Vista disc, nor do I have the original product key code, so I can't reinstall Vista.  I have not the slightest semblance of Vista to load, even the F8 key to appear the option of safe mode because the laptop is never to the loading screen, so I can't try to download/install updates to windows.  What I do then, short by using the "Restore the whole PC" option in the system recovery?  If I use this option, it will scan all my files and folders or it works as the restoration system, where he erases only the updates and software installed since Vista was initially loaded on the PC?

    Hello

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

    Method 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs:

  • Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover

    I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...

    -Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.

    -The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.

    -Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.

    -In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:

    File: \boot\memtest.exe

    Status: 0xc000000f

    Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt


    Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line

  • Vista will not start - stuck on the progress bar with MS logo

    Yesterday afternoon, my HP desktop PC would not initialize. The progress bar would be continually scroll down with MS logo, and it will never change. I tried unplugging all USB ports and running system recovery. This morning, the PC said something to the tune of «this machine could not be restored...» If you have recently made a hardware change try to return to your old configuration.

  • Vista will not start - I want my files

    I have so much data on my hard drive, but probably only a quarter of the space. One day, I had to use my laptop, but Vista wouldn't start. I turned off via the power button and not kept trying once again - no luck. On the normal start, he would charge for always on the Green loading bar 'Microsoft Corporation'. On system repair mode, it would stop right after this loading bar, on a black-blue screen. After several attempts, I am to decide get a new laptop. Here is some information on my old laptop: model: HP Pavilion Entertainment PC processor: AMD Turion 64 x 2 Windows Vista Home Premium please help me. If you know how to solve this problem, so I am able to make a recovery disk, please say so. If you know good ways to recover the data by other means, which would be also appreciated. Thank you very much. :)

    Yes, you can burn the iso to a DVD-R as well.

    http://www.CGSecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

    TestDisk is available on several systems based on Linux. For the recovery and the work of diagnosis, one of the most user-friendly tools IMO is Parted Magic. Download the iso here:

    http://PartedMagic.com/download.html

    Instructions on how to burn it on a DVD are on this page. To use the bootable DVD, you have created, you must be sure that your bios boot sequence includes your DVD drive and place BEFORE the hard drive (this is my normal configuration). This way if there is a bootable CD/DVD in the optical drawer closed, the PC he uses. If there is no disk (or a non-bootable floppy disk) in the status bar, the PC will look for a bootable partition on your primary hard drive.

  • Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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:

    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.

  • Vista will not start after update 09/12/2009.

    After you install the updates available for me on December 9, 2009, Windows Update wanted the computer to restart to complete the installation. I made and went on my merry way. A while later, I rebooted the computer, but the screen resolution was twisted, is no longer big screen, had compressed air and had a strange grid points, and after the progress bar Windows Vista, the screen remains black - the Welcome screen never showed up.

    Kick system repair CD, found 'a fix will prevent' and system restore suggested. Subsequently, attempted to start Vista, but got the same result as before. Tried the CD to repair a few times more and always suggested the same thing, leading me to believe it was not actually the application of the system restore.

    Vista is able to boot in safe mode and safe mode with networking and attempted a restoration of the system from there to just before the patch, the night before (a prior restore point updates 12/8) and a point 12/5. In all cases restarted to complete the restoration and then rebooted to see if it worked - never did. Whenever I went to the system restore, it doesn't seem like it had restored any point...

    Attempted to launch Windows Update in safe mode, but nothing happened. Went to the windows update website to see if I could get the ActiveX update, but he comes to propose I have run Windows Update from my computer (nice), with no 'help' link or other way to declare that it did not work.

    Went into Add/Remove programs to see if there was an installable patch listed, but it does not list something beyond mid-November.

    Help. =[

    Run the System File Checker (the command is SFC/scannow) from the command prompt.  Also check that your system has all virus\malware.  Here is a link to a thread with some good information: get rid of malware

    You can also run a disk error check as well.    Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
