Vista - Boots into recovery options

Hello,

I have a Vista computer that always boots into the recovery options and trys
to repair the operating system. How can I stop this from happening?

Even after repairing it does not try to boot normally!

Safe mode does the same thing.

Using bcdedit the RECOVERYENABLED is set to YES, how do I set this to NO?

The computer failed to boot in the first place because of a thrid party
service, normally I disable the service in safe mode but now the recovery
options seem to be getting in the way.

I would guess you are seeing some damage to the hard drive. I would use the
Command prompt option on the recovery menu to run the command:

chkdsk /R

Then the startup repair might work.

chkdsk /R has already been run on the drive.

When the recovery option runs it says at the end that there is no problem,
but upon next boot the recovery options come up again!

How would you use BCDEDIT to set Vista to boot into the recovery option in
the first place?

I know it can be used to set it to go to safe mode. I was hoping if I could
find out how to set it to the recovery option that I could unset it from the
recovery options.

have you tried using bootsec.exe at the command line after you boot with the
cd into recovery mode?

try bootsec.exe /fixmbr or bootsec.exe /fixboot
