Vista Tutorial - Urgent Help: Page Fault in Non Paged Area

I have Vista Business basic 32bit. For over 24 hrs my computer is not starting windows at all. I tried a few things through forums and the Lenovo tech support (i have a lenovo T400) but none worked. A few pointers -

- I did not install ay softwares or hardwares yesterday. So this really cannot be any new driver
- I have tested and reseated both my RAM and hard drive. I have also checked for all hardware problems using a bootable PC Doctor but found no hardware error.
- My computer refuses to start windows even in the Safe Mode
- The lenovo rescue and recovery system is also not starting! This is what concerns me the most.


So try what I may my computer does not start and my windows does not boot. I cannot afford to lose the data in my hard drive as it is my official system and I have not taken backups in the last two weeks - precious work I cannot lose. I am also trying hard to get this up by tomorrow.

I currently do not have the vista install disks with me. They are at work tomorrow and I shall them to repair Vista as last resort. But I cannot lose the data in the harrd drive. So would like to at least back it up before I install vista.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

See if you can borrow a vista disk any type will do as long as it's 32bit. use it to repair the boot sector. that way you won't lose any data.
or download a boot disk from here: Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download — The NeoSmart Files

Thanks a lot. I there a non-bit torrent link of this from where I can download this? And I do not know of this feature - what exactly does it do and what part of the bootable disk do I have to run?

thanks again.

Regards

Can't find the other link in the moment, but you can just google it. Just boot from the disk and tell it to repair your boot sector.
PS. you may have to go in to the bios and tell it to boot from CD rom.

Downloaded that and burned the iso to a disk. then I asked my Bios to boot from CD ROM.
After loading Windows for some time, this time I got a BSD with the error message "An attempt was made to write to Read Only Memory". At no point were there any options for me to choose from. (CORRECTION - I was asked to "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD...". Hardly a choice, but a user input anyway.)

Lost again!?

Thanks once more.
Regards

Hi,

This is what it is for

Startup Repair

and this is what you are making to do the job

Create a Recovery Disc

I made one recently for a friend , it is all easy to do , including setting up bittorrent - I did it just for that download.The disc you make will be very useful for the future.

Alternatively, if you know someone with a Vista dvd 32 bit, you can borrow that for the startup repair. You could even make your own dvd from the borrowed one, using isorecorder ( see the tutorial ). Remember when burning bootable iso to cd or dvd, do not format the recordable disc - if Autoplay pops up, just close it.

Hope it helps

This is all there is on the screen. Is this the number you are looking for?

Thanks.

Hi Ivars, have you tried memtest to see if you have some dodgy ram?
