Hi hope someone can help.
I installed vista sp2 yesterday and now my laptop won't start. it offers two options, start in repair mode or start normally.
I have an 18 month old Toshiba Equiium running vista home P 32 bit.
If I start normally, the microsoft logo comes up and then the screen blips blue momentarily then it goes off. If I run the repair, it scans for faults, then prompts to run a system restore. I take this option and then it takes many minutes to attempt repairs - ultimately ending with 'windows cannot repair..."
there is a log with lots of 0x0 type errors notices (which are meaningles to me)
I can't even get to the point where I could elect to restore to last best save or whatever.
I have all my docs backed up on a portable HD but I cannot get past this failed repair message.
Any clue where I should go next?
Many thanks
