1118461	2010-07-15 06:11:00	Will it boot into safe mode?? Whats the videocard, and are the latest video drivers installed? Looks like this prob can also happen if the vid drivers are out of date. Try booting into safe mode (if it can) then uninstall the vid drivers, then reboot). Then see what happens	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1118463	2010-07-15 08:58:00	Is daemontools on this? It looks like creative sound cards can also cause this prob. It looks like some Acronis program, can also crash crcdisk.sys But I would say you will need a dvd to fix it. Have you been here (social.technet.microsoft.com) and here ?

1118464	2010-07-15 09:22:00	No daemon tools installed, no Creative sound card and no Acronis software installed at all. Been to the 1st site but not the 2nd... but don't think it will be relevant as no Acronis software is installed on this machine. Thanks,	chiefnz (545)
1118465	2010-07-15 09:36:00	The 2nd one, even if it doesnt apply, is what you may have to do, to fix it. Remove its hdd and put it in a working system, then do a chkdsk /r on it	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1118466	2010-07-17 00:58:00	Ok replaced Home Basic with Vista Ultimate SP1 and all is going well. I'm busy with Windows Updates at the moment and haven't had any issues. Successfully updated the system to SP2 without issue. Thanks for all the help guys.	chiefnz (545)
