Hi there. My Vista installation won't start -- it hangs with error 0xc000000f.
So I downloaded the Vista recovery CD and booted up from that. On loading, it asked me whether I wanted to try restoring the system to an earlier point in time. I answered "Yes".
Now, it's just showing a window with a progress bar and the words "attempting repairs" below it. It's been doing this for about an hour now. There's a "Cancel" button on the window, but when I press that it says the current operation cannot be cancelled.
I don't want to interrupt the operation for fear of screwing up my system even further, but this seems a long time for it to be doing this operation. I've used System Restore before from the Lenovo Repair and Recovery partition and it never took very long.
What can I do?
Thanks.
