Boot Failed after multiple errors before restarting

[Joadix100]

I resumed my system from hibernation, and the sidebar had Aero disabled, i tried restarting Windows Sidebar but it failed to start, then i tried to play a DVD movie, and WMP failed to start, so i restarted the system, it booted but with LOTS of errors popping up, even SVCHOST crashed, restarted again, same, then i thougt of performing a repair upgrade, i shutdown the system, prepared a USB, booted up again and this happened...
Because of course..., and now idk what to do, rebuilding the BCD fails
Note: i didnt try to modify the system or anything prior to this, i wasnt at home for 2 days and the system was hibernated, before hibernation, EVERYTHING was working as intended and even the event viewer was happy
After this i am definateley going to create an image regularly of the system

Are you able to get to safe mode? Do you have a system restore setpoint?

it fails to even boot, and i dont have a system recovery setpoint, i tried reinstalling vista but it gave me an error while trying to select a drive to install to, it says that the specified volume does not meet the requierements for instalation
I think is the SSD because i have another one in another laptop and it gives problems, along with the RAM there are 3 120GB SSDs on their way here, they should arrieve in no more than a week

Sounds like the drive needs to be reformatted.

yes but i have a lot of info im not wanting to loose, also, another computer had a similar problem, this time my fault, and when i tried to installa vista, the same happened too, and i formatted the drive twice

Are you able to get into the BIOS?

 

[Joadix100]

Are you able to get into the BIOS?

yes, and i tried changing things but the same, now i cant install Vista on either of them, because "The specified drive does not meet the requierements" im getting tired of this, on the Desktop i could install XP, but im going to install Vista in one way or another, even if i have to install 7 or 8 first, that solves the problem always, i install 8 and it lets me install vista from there, im going to wait for the SSD that should arrieve tomorrow.

 

[Joadix100]

im getting really mad, the 4GB stick does not work, i think its broken, i changed the SSD and i had the same error when i tried to reinstall Windows, THEN HOW TF DOES THE COMPUTER REMEMBER THAT IT DOES NOT WANT AN OS ON IT BECAUSE YES IF I CHANGED THE DRIVE, i had to install XP 32 bit, then Windows Vista 32 bit, then Windows 7 64 bit (Because i have an AIO iso) and then finally Vista 64, it worked for some time, but then after installing some updates, winload.exe had a signature issue and then, when i inserted the Vista USB iso, THE FKING BCD DELETED ITSELF, and now im in the same situation, it does not want to install windows, it happens with Vista, 7, 8.1, Windows 10 does not even boot and XP is the only one that works, i dont fking know whats happening, maybe the previous drive has a virus that does that, but it stores himself in the fking air because as i said, i changed the ONLY drive in the system, and now i have to do the same AGAIN to install Vista, and im afraid this WILL happen again and again and im getting tired and mad at this, i love vista but this is making it hard to still love it.
If someone has a solution to this, please let me know

This same error happens With 7 and 8.1, it translates to: "Windows cannot find a system volume that meets the instalation criteria"
Fk you Microsoft, it is on AHCI, MBR and NTFS, what else do you want? and yes, i tried deleting all partitions as well as formating and remaking the Bootable USB

I'm not sure what you have installed from reading your post. Are you trying to install Vista on the same partition as XP?

 

[Joadix100]

I'm not sure what you have installed from reading your post. Are you trying to install Vista on the same partition as XP?

nope, because windows vista, 7 or 8.1 refused to install as its shown in the picture (the error below) i had to install XP, then, from XP i installed 7 (not upgrade) and then from 7, Vista, because i didnt have a Vista AIO with 32 and 64 bit ISO, because XP is 32 bit, i had to use a AIO ISO to install 7 64, and then from there Vista 64, now i did it again and im on Vista 64, installing updates and preparing to install the Extended kernel

Rather than hibernate, I suggest sleep mode. There have been many problems with hibernate in both Vista and Win 7 over the years.

i think i found the problem, when i install Updates, everything works fine, but when i start with the windows server 2008 updates, it fails, so im going to clone the drive, in fact, im doing it right now, and then i will start installing the server 2008 updates untill i find the one that causes the problem, maybe is none of them and it is just the order of installation, (i will install them from oldest to most recent)

i cannot believe it, i cloned the drive with a good Vista instalation, i tried updating the instalation on the drive and apparently theres an Server 2008 update that causes the problem, so i went to use the backup drive and restore the good vista installation, AND IT WAS BROKEN, winload.exe was corrupt or missing, and i cannow believe it, it makes NO sense that a drive that had a known good instalation inside failed because yes, and the drive wasnt even connected to the power, it had a fully updated Vista installation with NO server 2008 updates, and winload.exe decided to fail in BOTH DRIVES at the same time because it wanted to

In another thread, I found the same thing on my system so I reinstalled Vista from an ISO from SIW2. Didn't attempt to reinstall the 2008 updates and everything works fine. I think there might been another issue to go along with it, like a failing hard drive but I didn't look for the thread.

my SSD is litterally brand new, i bought it a week ago, and i need an Vista spanish ISO with x86 and x64 editions

Based on this-

Redirecting

I guess you did to find a spanish version.
I don't know if this works- Windows Vista SP2 x86 All in One (Spanish) : Microsoft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
I assume you have a key for whatever version it is.
Why do you want 32 and 64 bit versions?

when the BCD corrupts itself, it does not let me install Vista or later, as you can see in the picture from my previous message, so i need to install Window XP, and then upgrade to Vista, but since XP is 32-bit, it does not let me open the Vista setup from windows itself because the setup is 64 bit, so i need an AIO with 32 and 64 bit for it to let me open it on a 32 bit OS and install the 64 bit version, but since the only AIO i have like that is windows 7, i have to installl 7 and then Vista, i hope you understood
P.D. Windows XP x64 is not booting for some reason, and yes, it is the Professional x64, not the 64-Bit edition for Itanium (at least thats what the ISO claims it is)

The question Does vista affect the life of SSDs? was asked at MSFN 2 years ago, and the questioner was provided with links to 3 earlier threads. I never ran Vista on an SSD and would be very surprised if wither 3 ever did.

i think i found the problem, when i install Updates, everything works fine, but when i start with the windows server 2008 updates, it fails

The only Server 2008 update that the extended kernel actually requires is KB4474419, but apparently you want a “fully patched” Windows 6.0.6003. I assume you are using some Windows Update hack that I am not familiar with. It may have required you to install KB4474419, but did you also install the servicing stack update KB4493730 at that time? Microsoft stressed the importance of installing the latest servicing stack update before installing new updates. In addition to KB4493730 (April 2019), there was a second SSU for Server 2008, KB4517134 (September 2019), which probably means the first SSU had issues. However, the latter SSU was signed with SHA-2 exclusively, hence it requires the first SSU (and perhaps KB4474419) to be already installed. If I was doing what you’re doing (which I never will), I would manually install both SSUs before installing other Server 2008 updates.

i know about SSDs and Vista, i know that Vista and Server 2008 do not support trimming and that defragging is bad for SSDs, i disable Defragging on my vista installation due to that
But the problem was not the SSD itself, while the exact same SSD (Model and capacity) was installed on my old Windows 10 laptop (now being prepared to be a present for my GF) the SSD caused problems, now i installed a new one and it solved the problem
About the issue, i think i found the update causing the issues, KB4534303 corrupts winload.exe and bricks the installation beyond repair, and it causes all the problems, i will confirm this since i now have 2 SSDs with the installation and i can brick one of them to test if the update is the problem, i have already put the update in the blacklist so windows does not try to install it and destroy itself, but i have no clue what causes the problem of Vista and later dont wanting to install
About the SSUs, i did install them, i used this tutorial and it asks me to install everything thats needed before fixing WU

That was the final monthly rollup from January 2020 (not counting ESU updates, which I never discuss). I hope this doesn’t mean that you are unable to install any monthly rollup. I believe Windows Update should only offer the most recent rollup, but if you “hide” that, then it may offer the previous rollup, which might also cause the same issue. Is extended kernel already installed? Nobody at MSFN reported this issue 3 years ago, and it’s been more like 4 years since wither 3 gave up on Server 2008 updates, so he never installed that particular rollup.
