Hmm, sounds like your MBR is broken. I use linux and refuse to touch vista but to me it sounds like your Hard drive may be failing. I have seen similar things happen to windows xp machines prior to a hdd failure. Try this EDIT: Vista Recovery Disc | Recovery Download | PC World burn the iso to disk and boot from it. If its just the booting that its having trouble with it you might be able to repair that. First try the repair option in the cd. The link is broken - website says the file could not be found

I have recently purchased a LogiQ laptop and i have only used it for the past week or two. I now have an error message on a black and white screen saying: "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer 2. Choose your language, and then click "Next" 3. Click "Repair your computer" If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance File: \Boot\BCD Status: 0Xc000000f Info: an error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data." I am the system administrator and this "Notebook Computer" did NOT come with a windows installation disk, the O/S (Vista Basic) was pre-installed. PLEASE FIND ME A SOLUTION!!! the manufacturers website has apparently been down/moved since october and i cannot get a reply from the email address provided. PLEASE HELP

I did it, i "Skanked" an XP disk and it helped restore my PC, turns out it was because of some software that was improperly installed. Thanks all!

I need a new laptop! can anyone find me a good deal? MY REQUIREMENTS 3GB+ RAM 512MB + Graphics (Prefer 1GB but will settle for 512MB) built in web cam 120GB disk space Windows 7 (Will settle for Vista) 12"+ screen 2.1GHz+ CPU Wifi (Built-in) This is what i want but my budget is small anything upto £650 will be good or nearest price for this spec. Thanks

when i turn on my computer it always comes up with the boot options (safe mode, normal, etc...) however i have tried all options a number of times and even after leaving it off overnight but it displays the windows startup logo (Running on XP) then the blue screen flashes up and then the computer just re starts. the blue screen flashes too fast to see whats on it. i do not have a restore disk or O/S disk. HELP!

I got a 4GB memory pen which has U3 software on it This makes it so that a password is needed to access its files. I use it daily but i have a problem using it at college. The network has restrictions saying i cannot "run" any software I really don't want to have to get another memory pen and i don't want to delete the software off this, Can i get round the "Run" restriction at college? Please Help. :D
