hi , i have meet a new unexpected error in Vista.
this is what happend :
i had Vista and XP installed on two different volumes .
then the Xp one crashed .
i installed Vista on that volume and did nothing to remove the old installation .
it worked for a while i got to the point where i had updated all drivers and installed wanted software (Office etc.. )
then after a reboot it boots up in a console thingi ..
Bios post messages are all ok .
in this console i can choose to press esc to go to a menu where i can choose to boot Vista , Xp or Dos- something.
if i choose Vista in this menu it tries to boot but gives more some error messages saying it cant be found .
same with the other options.
i've tried to boot with the Vista DVD and i've tried to fix the startup with it ... "Could not repair.." and at last i tried to install Vista all over again . .
well the installation works fine all the way up to choosing username etc.. when the machine reboots the final time then the problem returns ...
i've tried to search Google and forums for this problem with no luck .. can someone help me ?
is there a way to fix this problem ?
