Solve : HEEEEEEEELLPPPPP!! CANT LOAD WINDOWS VISTA? |
|
Answer» Hello- hoping someone can help as at END of my tether!! My computer crashed last week- had not downloaded any new HARWARE or software- just GAVE up the ghost (3 yr old- Vista 32 bit running windows version 7) I have re-intsalled windows USING disk that came with computer- no issues all loaded ok. Reinstalled- fresh install not repair Compuer was not same- slower- freezing- etc etc until then eventually blue screen of death after an hour or 2 Could start again- sometimes needing backup disk sometimes not- access to internet- slow but ok Today- STARTED computer and wont even boot from disk. Managed to run a memory test and no issues. Manged to press F8 and run all the differant start ups and still says cant load windows So...in summary... Computer will not lod windows into any mode/ safe etc etc Disk is in the machine but its as if not there! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! ps- I am ok with some terms but not all so be gentle when replying- certainly opening computer and moving bits etc is a no no! 1) When you say "fresh" install, did you reformat first? 2) Download the diagnistic utility from the website of your hard drive manufacturer and see if you can run it. hi- thanks for reply no- didnt reformat- just went with reinstalling from disk! Then that's not a "fresh" install - you will have the same problems now you had previosly. If you want a clean install, boot to your OS disc and format, then install. Note that you will have to reinstall all drivers immediately after installing the OS (starting with the chipset driver). And of course formatting will delete EVERYTHING on the drive, so first back up any key data. |
