Hello vista forums i asking for some help today cause i got this windows boot disk failure enter system disk i have the installion disk. now when i go 2 choose a operating system there is none i cant be detected. I run the chkdsk and it says windows has found no errors. I can acess system restore by typing rstrui OFFLINE:C:\ windows, that doesnt work either because after that its still looking for the Os. i am using windows vista home premium32b no external drives or anything just the way it was bought. please help i even made a recovery disk and a paragon partion manager disk. But ill needs a hd/os

Hello Gray, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might see if runinng a startup repair may be able to fix this for you. If you have not OS option to select from, go ahead and click on next anyway.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

It says startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Can you use the recovery disc to re-install back to factory settings?

I am not very computer savy but this disc is the windows vista home premium disk dvd rom with service pack 1 so i think it can but i need my hd to be detected.

Reboot with the disk in the drive and when it shows Vista choose install and then advanced. Check if your hard drive is listed.

I get pasd the install screen put in my code then i choosr Custom(advanced) for a type of installion. After that screen it asks me do i want to install windows and there are none and at the bottom is says no drive found. Click load driver to provide a mass storage device.

Does loading the driver enable the hard drive?

After i click it says noi device drivers were found. Make sure the installion contains the correct drivers. And theres a browsr and rescan buttuons at the which rescam cant find any and im not sure browsing will help me find cause i dont know the name or it doesnt have one

If its a desktop, open up the case and make sure the hard drive is plugged in properly and is also attached to the power supply. It could also be that your hard drive has failed, so you could also buy a relatively cheap 1TB replacement and use that.
