Unable to boot into Vista

Laura_Browne

it found them there, loaded and running startup repair (have to go pick mum from work now) so will be ten minutes (hopefully the restarting of the computer upstairs will manage without a hitch while im gone???)

be back with (hopefully good news) in a few.

Do this mean that the Vista installation is now visible?

Right, it ran the startup repair, restarted the computer and it loaded up but again took me to the login screen with "other user" as my only option.

Does this mean I have to do the DOS window reboot? and if so, how do I know which drive the CD drive is

the other user thing? yeah, it happened before. But that was the first time that ive been able to see the vista OS in the repairs box.

Picture? Try using the disc to run System Restore this time. There is still a possibility of a Rootkit infection.

will go take a picture, then will try a system restore, be back soon (im gonna be fit all this running upstairs lol)

Laura_Browne

Ok. The pics should be there any minute now. Just a question? Won't a system restore just undo what I did with the repair (if anything)

Thanks (pics should be there since I waffled lol)

also, added another two pictures to the photobucket that show the login to the advanced recovery/repair screen (its the screens before the square where the options for recovery, DOS, repair etc are)

i didnt get this before I had driver either, and so was wondering, it says login as user, (which would be Zmachine) and thats what I did. Checking that that is right????

havent told it to restore or anything yet tho. *waits*
