I have a dell 531s with 64 bit vista home edition and here is my problem:
I updated the Service Pack 1 update and while it was restarting, it was installing all the files for the Service Pack, at about 28000 files in it gave me an error 0x8000(i cant remember the rest of the sequence) so after 5 failed attempts and 4 failed startup repair attempts (the startup repairs wouldnt move past 'attempting' repairs after waiting 3 hours) so I decided it was time to reformat
upon plugging my vista OS disk in the computer it started giving me a flashing bluescreen before restarting, when i tried to use the f8 method it just gave me a quick bsod then restarted, after i try to run startup repairs it gives me a bsod with the error 0x0000c1f5
it seems like no matter what i try i end up with a bsod, and i have no idea how this got like this X_X
