STILL KSODING

[Andrei31910]

Hey there, this is a new thread, about my old thread: Vista installation error!

If you don't want to/ can't access the link, I have a problem with installing vista.

It ksods, we tried replacing the wim, manually installing, but it still ksods

New members can help!

Is there any text following the KSOD error that might indicate the source of the problem? Maybe you can post the entire error message.

 

[Andrei31910]

no, just pure black

 

[wither 3]

How do you know you're getting a KSOD if all you get is a black screen? If you are truly getting that you should be able to look at the BSOD log file.

 

[Andrei31910]

I think it's a different kind of KSOD, but maybe we (and some other people) can resolve this

 

[wither 3]

The file should be in C:\Windows\Logs

 

[Andrei31910]

my logs file doesent exist, not even the folder

 

[wither 3]

I thought maybe it would put it in your Win 7 folder but it's probably not seeing those. Understand, I'm not an expert like these other guys.

 

[Andrei31910]

i undrestand, but i dont think its putting it in the win 7 folder.

Did you take a look? I think you have XP also installed and you can look at it's logs folder.

Hi Andrei31910:

I'd suggest you post your system specs and details about your KSOD installation error in the MSFN Vista forum <here>, which is where most Vista enthusiasts with advanced troubleshooting skills still post these days. If you are able to boot up into the current OS on your machine use Piriform's free Speccy utility to post your system specs as follow:

1. Download Speccy Portable v1.32 (spsetup132.zip) <here> from the MajorGeeks site and save to a USB thumb drive (or any other location you prefer).
2. Unzip spsetup132.zip and double-click the .exe executable (Speccy.exe for a 32-bit OS; Speccy64.exe for a 64-bit OS) to launch the program. Wait for Speccy to collect system information and populate the interface.
3. Go to File | Publish Snapshot and then copy and paste the URL this generates (e.g., http: // speccy.piriform.com/results/xxx... as shown below) in your new topic in the MSFN forum.

If you haven't used Speccy before, I published a snapshot of my (now retired) HP Pavilion dv6835ca / 32-bit Vista SP2 machine at http://speccy.piriform.com/results/z2qoNAESuxQeYKCK2QGx3or. This 12-Jul-2019 snapshot is the last snapshot I published for this Vista SP2 laptop before I uninstalled my Norton Security Deluxe v22.15.2.22 antivirus.

There are no “Vista enthusiasts with advanced troubleshooting skills” who still post at MSFN these days. Even that European paranoiac with multiple member accounts seems to have finally gotten some psychiatric care. MSFN still has a number of Windows XP diehards, but that’s about all. Also, your Speccy habit was acquired at Bleeping Computer, not MSFN.

If I was interested in a triple-boot machine (which I never was and definitely never will be), I would look for old threads from the days when people actually did it (i.e. posted 15-16 years ago). You probably need to install Vista before Windows 7!

 

[Andrei31910]

ok, first of all, I made a mistake...... (I installed 7 before vista, classic me), second, vistaar's post is correct. But I'll try to see the specs

 

[Andrei31910]

i think its intel pentium and i also think its a driver issue

 

[Andrei31910]

oh yeah, last time i tried running installer (from the usb, using logs i tihkn), i think it came into error 1

 

[Andrei31910]

for wither’s reply, i found the logs, but cbs, dpx, homegroup, or system restore?

 

[lmacri]

.... second, vistaar's post is correct.

Hi Andrei31910:

This is Vistaar's area of expertise so I'll step out of this topic now and let them assist you.

My apologies. The location for the .dmp files will be inn C:\Windows\Minidump. Download the 32 bit version of BlueScreenView here-https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html. Open the .zip file and save the .exe file wherever you please. To look at the BSOD files, simply run the .exe.

 

[Andrei31910]

ok, I have 2 things to say,
To Imacri: Thank you,
To Wither: This may be a huge breakthrough as we can see the logs

 

[Andrei31910]

Fun fact, which is really fitting now:
i used chatgpt even before making the first post,

and BAD NEWS: chatgpt said
"
Basically, BSV can’t help here because Vista never laid down an OS to even try making crash dumps.


So the real mission is get Vista to install far enough so it can at least boot into something. After that, if it crashes, then BlueScreenView can catch dumps."
