Windows Vista Basic - freezing to Chkdsk at startup, not able to move forward

Hello

When I started my laptop this morning, I got this message on the screen, with no clicks to jump

Checking system C: files
The type of the file system is NTFS.

CHKDSK checks the files - full of 8 percent.

When he was stuck on it for the time being, I started it hard a few times but it gets stuck again and again at the same level.

I read a few tips and tutorials but the ctrl + Alt + Del or f8 does not work. I get the options to go to the screen of command or any other link what so ever to get out. This is the machine of my father with a huge amount of data in it and we are very distraught. Currently out of the country and have not any backup or a Vista DVD.

Desperately need help.

Best regards

PB

    Hello

    There are several methods to check the high low filters and maybe it's not yet the real
    the cause of the problem.

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

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  • where can I download windows 7 premium or ultimate edition in order to update my windows vista basic

    I have the product key for my Windows Vista Basic Home Edition;  but I can not find windows 7 premium or ultimate edition to download and upgrade my windows vista computer.  I am looking in the Microsoft page and I can't find the Advisor to upgrade windos I have laready run. Now I need a direction to download windows 7 anyone can help me?

    Thanks in advance

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    If you restore so frequently, or at all, someone is something fundimentally incorrect and visit places / download infected files.

    Recover PC to factory specifications, winupdate turn off "recommended updates", but allow critical updates. Consult the manufacturer of your laptop and see if there are recommended updates shown there.

  • Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

    If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

    What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.
