I have an Acer Aspire 5920G laptop and Vista (only) installed as OS. I was cleaning my laptop (turned off) and accidentally pressed the shortcut button for launching Acer Arcade Deluxe. It suddenly boots up then install the deluxe, thinking that since it is from acer it will not cause any problem later so i let the installation to finish. After the installation i was able to use the deluxe for sometime then i decided to exit from it and return to Vista. When i click on the exit button the Microsoft Windows XP logo appeared together with the hibernating progress bar. When i tried to boot to Vista an error message appear containing:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0x000000f
I believed that the installation of Acer arcade deluxe (not inside Vista) used XP to install it in my laptop and at the same time overwirtes the boot configuration for Vista. I've tried ALL steps mentioned here http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ and here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223188/ but to no avail nothing happened.
Inside the Recovery disc, i can only use the command prompt and the other features (like system restore, complete pc recovery) always results in an error.
Everytime i go to command prompt the default directory is:
X:\sources> (what's this? is this a hidden partition?)
i can change to E: (DVD) but can't to C: (System) and D: (my files).
I've just tried this one also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391#top but still nothing.
Can't fix with acer recovery also... D2D mismatch error messages appears.
Can anyone please save me from this one.
Thank you very much in advance.
