Windows failed to start

Hai



I had that happen to me before. Did you reinstall the drivers after formatting the hard drive? Try that. Format the hard drive, install the drivers, and then re-install vista agian.

hi i have the sam problem i instaled vista and then turned computer on and they i went on and i got to chose which one i wanted to go on vista or xp n i clicket xp and this messaage came up

yeah, i tried to perform a system restore with the disks that i got from office depot for my vaio. i thought i had all of them, but i guess my dad tossed them when he was cleaning his desk (>.<) so now when i turn on my computer all it says is "no operating system detected" and i tried to install XP on it, because i have the disk but it won't work.

I turned on my computer and the sony vaio symbol came up and looked like it was turning on. Then I got a black screen with white script saying "operating system failed" does anyone have any idea what's going on? I assume a virus attacked my operating system rendering it useless.

I recently attempted to update my PC with the Vista Service Pack 1 upgrade. There was an error at the end of the installation saying that it could not install or something. I turned my PC on today, used it for about 10 mins before it crashed, so I restarted it and then it said: Windows Failed to load etc. use the windows installation disc to repair. I used the disc and tried to do a system restore but that also failed. Any ideas? Thanks!

Please I have two problem with my Hp compaq 6720s laptop

hi robot.2008,
i think u will need to re-install it dear,,,there has surely been some errors while it was loading,,,good luck to ya

this is do to after june 30th updates.
also these updates will stop older photoshop programs from
running and many more.
we know that changing from wind 98 to xp can have problems and so can changing from
xp to vista.
but now we have a company removing on purpose your ability to use programs.
they have changed xp and vista in to something that is not xp or vista anymore.
due aggrements between microsoft and many software providers, the money is
neede in this economy to make you buy new programs. these companies pay
microsoft to shut down programs on your existing OS. this is fraud and is a federal
crime.
your computer is a machine working fine I hope. turn off windows updates
and use your computer as is. IT works for you , dont change it.
just upload new drivers when needed from companies.
do not trust microsoft at this time . They are desperate in this economic crises.
I know many pro computer experts as I am which shut down updates months
ago. if it working , what do you need from Microsoft.this is do to after June 30th updates.

Mine crashed the other day when it was trying to download service pack 3.
It went through all of the motions fine and then started up in repair mode and said it couldn't be repaired automatically.. Talked to my Dell rep and she said all I could do was reinstall vista which would cause me to loose all of my photos etc . . . It is now in the shop having all of my files and photos taken off of the hard drive and then they are going to reinstall vista. Felt like this was the safest way.

Em

you may have this happen again
you may want to purchase the 99 dollar start up disk sold in many places and on ebay.
This also contains vista home edition basic with no updates or sp1.

these are also available from microsoft.
if one has a problem and you get a boot error.
put it in , restart, and make sure you choose repair.
if this works and alot of times you have to do it twice for some strange reason.
you will always be able to get your computer back running and it takes about
20 minutes or less. it does not install vista . it repairs it.
Xp is same way. have or buy the boot cd.
the vista cd for 99 can be installed as not a repair and
will put basic home edition from scratch back on your computer.
you could have save all of your pictures on disk.
the programs and the entire disk can be copied at home to another
disk.
if you have a laptop, that is more difficult.
I would turn off updates, if you need a driver , just get it.
google it or go to manufacture page.
I am not going to update vista, it works fine and does what i want without sp1
unless they come out with a HoTFIX and you are real sure, then maybe in the future
we can all go to sp1.
have a great day.
