| | | | Im trying to help a friend with his laptop.
Basically he boots and gets "We apologize for the inconvenience, but
Windows did not start successfully"
Eventually he tells me that he gets to this menu
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last known good configuration
Start Windows normally
However no matter what option he chooses he gets the same thing all
over again.
If this was XP I would first rebuild the boot. eg.
Boot from XP cd into the recovery console.
I would try to rebuild the boot by deleting the boot.ini and typing
bootcfg /rbuild then chkdsk then type fixboot c:
enter load identifier etc.
OR
If that didnt work I would do a no-reformat, nondestructive rebuild
However its not XP. So I dont know if these things still work or what.
Can I do these things on Vista or what methods can I use to get this
booting properly.
Thanks.

| | | | | thanks for your helpful answers.
Is there a web site that lists some of these vista emergencies
routines that you can recomend.
I suppose I should start boneing up on it as I need to learn it. If I
learn the new methods for recovery on vista do you or anyone know if
they are differnt on 7, do I have to learn yet another series of
recovery options.
Regards
