Vista - DEP problem! help me!!!

Hello

I turned DEP off by reading the vistax64 forum.
when i rebooted, a big problem raised.
windows vista ( home premium ) crashed to continue.
i selected safe mode and other F8 choices...but still problem is there.

then I used Vista DVD to repair startup...problem not solved.
I used system restore...but not worked.


DELL company gived a choice to me...it sets all required windows vista files and folders on my another drive...how can i boot it ?

if i do it, so i can keep avoid my files and downloaded programs ( .exe ) from failed windows ( c:\ ) .

your forum website is best
thank you

please dont forget my issue!!!

Hello Arsham,

You might see if booting to the command prompt from your Vista installation DVD, then enabling DEP again may help. OPTION TWO in the link below will help show you how to boot into the command prompt if needed.

Command Prompt at Startup


If you do the "Restore the computer's software to the original condition" option from Dell, then it will format your hard drive and restore Vista back to factory default like the day you first got it. It should fix your porblem, but it will wipe out all of your files though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

thanks,i know how to open cmd from Vista DVD.
I need a command to enabling my inactive windows...i remember that we should use bootcfg /rebuild in XP ( i read in XP 70-270 testking...but in vista i know it does not work ).

i think i should active boot files from drive D:\ ?

You can try these commands to repair the Vista boot files.

Bootmgr is missing

which command is useful for activing boot files of drive d:\ ?

I would do the ones in the link that I posted above.

Bootmgr is missing

bootrec /fixmbr

(your dvdrom drive letter):\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force

del C:\boot\bcd

bootrec /rebuildbcd

Close cmd prompt, remove dvd, Reboot.
