    Vista home premium won't boot up

    Well, i'm on a gateway with Vista home Premium and it won't boot up. When i start it normally it goes to a screen that says windows error recovery.

    It has two tabs launch start-up repair (reccomended)
    and Start Windows Normally.

    So when i press enter on the launch it just goes to that screen over and over.

    But when i press on start normally a stop error comes up. The stop code is 0x0000007B (0x80604A, 0xC00000034. 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

    When i went into safe mode it didn't work it came up with the same blue screen, I looked on the gateway site with how to fix it but it says to go to the start button when i can't even get to that screen.

    Thanks In Advance,
    The Ferrells

    The INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE bug check has a value of 0x0000007B. This bug
    check indicates that the Microsoft Windows operating system has lost access
    to the system partition during startup.

    Possible cause:
    - Hard disk related problem

    Possible solutions:
    - Edit the boot options with BCDEDIT
    - Make sure you installed the OS with the hdd controller driver, and it
    should be up to date when your OS has been installed.
    - Try last known good configuration
    - Scan your hard disk with Chkdsk /f /r (from inside the OS) or Chkdsk /r
    (from the repair install)
    - Try bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /rebuildbcd from
    the repair install.


    Good luck and have fun.
