| 834496 | 2009-11-28 19:21:00 | Hi, My friend has a Dell Studio latop and when she restarted her PC normally (no errors before hand), it bluescreen's during loading windows. She's running Vista Home 32bit. Under safemode it hangs at crcdisk.sys then reboots. Any ideas? Thanks |

| 834498 | 2009-11-28 19:27:00 | Doesn't say - it just flashes then reboots. | music_man (5482) | ||

| 834501 | 2009-11-28 19:42:00 | Reboot, tap F8 as soon as Windows starts loading then select disable auto restart then it should stop at the blue-screen. So then post the error here so one of the more knowledgeable folks can diagnose your problem. |

| 834502 | 2009-11-28 19:58:00 | I can't find that setting on "Phoenix Bios Setup Utility". At the moment "QuickBoot Mode" is enabled - "Allows the system to skip certain tests while booting. This will decrease the time needed to boot the system". |

| 834503 | 2009-11-28 20:21:00 | No, not the BIOS which is where you have gone, you need to tap F8 as Windows first begins to load to access the Windows advanced boot menu, it includes Safe mode etc as well as disable auto restart! windows.microsoft.com |

| 834504 | 2009-11-28 20:30:00 | Thanks for that. The bluescreen says: "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" |
