Hi There!
Problem with vista boot up, this is the error that the vista recovery start reparation says (from recovery partition) and oh yeah, I automatically get to the recovery thing:
Root cause found:
--------------------------------
Boot manager failed to find OS loader.
Repair action: File repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x2
Time taken = 156 ms
Repair action: Boot configuration data store repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x2
Time taken = 0 ms
I have run chkdsk with /f and /r, there were errors, but now there are none.
Bootrec /scanos or /rebuildbcd gives zero identified windows installs, strange considering the start repair thing found it, but could not fix it.
i have run /fixmbr and /fixboot also, and these succeded, but still the same error.
Anyways - the reason for this to occur in the first place is a little bit embarrassing, a friend of mine asked if I could help out, he didn't know what was wrong, probably some virus, there were several programs he could not start - he gave me his computer, I immediately took out the harddrive and put it in a usb dock connected to my computer and first ran chkdsk (some errors) and then ran panda antivirus(found some viruses), I then though that these things was his problem - I though I was done. I was in no rush, so I figured I'll run a defrag and did so. When I after that put the hdd back in the computer I realised that he hadn't shut down his computer, but put it in hibernate! Windows loaded the files and I was at the desktop, but almost anywhere I clicked there were of errors telling me "run chkdsk, file error blablabla" got it to start shutting down, but it couldn't finish and I hit the power button.
The embarrissing part is of course that I didn't check that the computer wasn't in hibernation. This has never happened to me, no one has ever given me their computer for me to fix - and the computer was in hibernation.
Anyways, I then took out disk again and ran chkdsk which came up with _tons_ of errors.
And yeah. Now I'm stuck.
Thankfull for any help - I've searched the web for hours and hours, but found nothing that could help me![Frowning :frowning: :frowning:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
