volmgrx.sys damaged during vista sp2 upgrade pc does not start

I had this problem after downloading and installing SP2. Well actually the never finished SP2 update correctly because this problem has occurred. To be precise:
1 - Download SP2 via windows Update and starts the installation.
2 - installation routine was told he needed to restart to complete update so I clicked on restart
3 - PC went in "installation of updates do not turn off" or something else
4 - PC restarted, but could not start
5 - went to Startup Repair where it could not solve the problem, but it has identified as being "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\volmgrx.sys boot critical file is corrupt.

That this problem had never occurred before that I can only assume that it was caused by a problem during the SP2 update. The problem is that I now have no way of fixing.

-The PC will not boot in Vista
-Startup Repair cannot fix the problem
-The manufacturer system restore function seems to have been boosted by the problem of too and will not work
-Booting from a recovery DVDs only gives options of startup repair (which does not solve the problem) or a clean install, I don't want to have to do.
-I can not replace the corrupted version of the file with a known good because it is protected (access denied) and I have no way to change the attributes of protection to allow it to be removed, or replaced.

Can someone please tell me how I can fix this apparently simple problem and avoid having to trash the system and rebuild it?

  • Windows Vista Basic, 32 bit, does not start up-will start in safe mode

    My computer fails to start. This problem came about 2 weeks ago when I rebooted after an update for McAfee Total protection requiring a reboot. But I don't know if that is why the computer not boot not correctly.
    After a lot of testing to the Startup Repair and shut down the pc and start it again, it starts to open a session for users. But after that I restarted again in this State, the problem persists.
    There is no error codes or messages, it just does not start. There is no virus infection (I hope). While the pc is booting, I also connected to Admin and checked if there were any problems found. But no other problem than a problem with Teredo Tunneling Pseudo - Interface. I solved this problem.
    So after all these checks, I restarted again, and it will not start again.
    It starts in Mode safe with no problems, and I have restored the pc a couple of times, but no use.

    Y at - it a fix for this?

    Hello RubeenaY.

    After looking on this thread. the most remarkable thing I've seen, is that we are able to boot mode safe without problem. Typically, this means that we cannot start because a driver, service, or application takes over at startup which prevents our normal operation.

    I recommend you to perform a clean boot, as they did in the previous post.

  • After installing the Vista SP2, IE 8 does not work well.

    After installing Vista SP2, IE 8 under my.live.com does not work.  The pages do not FLOW RSS download, links on the page at the top are not active and usually IE has out crapped.  I went to run a complete Internet security suite uninstall Trend Micro and put it in a plain Jane anit-virus program.

    I would like to keep the functioning of IE8, but switch to FireFox, if I need to see my RSS STREAM or do some serious web browsing.

    In addition, Live Messenger is no longer connect either.

    Is there a way I can safely roll back my system to SP1?  I can't live without Vista SP2.

  • Vista Boot Camp partition does not start

    I have been using Fusion to open my Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate installed partition.  It worked fine for months.  Suddenly, I get a windows Boot Manager error.  The message says that some required files missing.  Here's the weird: I can open the Visa using Boot Camp partition.

    Any ideas?

    Tim

    Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

    1. If the merger is open, close it.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

    RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

    3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

    Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

    Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

    When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all

    Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation.  Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.

    The best option is to repair Vista first.

    Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

    Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

    Hello GoogleGuru,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
    Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

    If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

    Post back with the results.

    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.

    A friend had a Dell Dimension E521 that won't start - has the missing file system\hal.dll.

    As there was nothing on this computer, he needed, I rebuilt it install a new copy of Windows XP, used the upgrade disc closed for upgrade to Vista and ensured everything in its original package has been installed. Let him install the Windows updates at night and in the morning, after a reboot it indicated that there is an update available. I've updated that and restarted and he said there are only four more updates that memory on the video card. I've updated those, but now it does not start at the top.

    I'm going through the boot process, but as soon as it is the screen black with the Microsoft Corporation and the (green?) bar he starts moving forward a very small amount, and then restarts. It comes up with the selection of Windows startup screen and I tried the secure boot and last good Configuration known without result.

    I tried the original XP disc to do a repair, but this doesn't seem to work with Vista?
