| | Vista x64 wont start My Vista won't start. x64 with service pack 1 I was defragging the hard disk when it suddenly stopped. Rebooting windows normally and it keeps crashing once the log on screen appears. Tried the safe basic safe mode which loads, but the safe mode with networking and command promopt options do not load - windows stops. Tried the vista repair with the cd but that stops too once the 100% bar has completed. Chkdsk fails as well. I haven't tried building a recover disk yet, don't know if this will help? |

| | RE: Vista x64 wont start Thank's Mick. The implication is that the service pack is faulty. I've had the service pack running for 10 days now without problem with me booting up a least once a day. If I do windows update for the service pack might I just get the same problem afterwards? I tried booting from DVD with the original disk to do a repair and get the same crash. It's as if there is a corruption on one of the system files. I was defragging at the time of the original error so could it be that there is a corrupt file? Strangely, it has booted into windows once. I could not see any events that might point to a problem. But after shuting down and trying again I get the crash again.

Perhaps there is a bug in SP1 relating to defragging and booting. -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@xxxxxx (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) |
