| 733943 | 2009-01-01 07:55:00 | Welcome to PF1 - have you made any changes to the PC before rebooting, Eg: software installs, updates ?? try boot from the Vista DVD again, this time use the option to use system restore, run it backwards to a time it was working OK.

If the previous method does not resolve the problem, you can rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Get your Vista installation DVD and pop it into your drive. 2. Then restart your computer. 3. Press a key when you are prompted. 4. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next 5. Click Repair your computer 6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next 7. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt 8. Type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press ENTER • If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation path of a Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes . A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully. • If Bootrec cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (Remember to press ENTER after each command) bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old bootrec /rebuildbcd Reboot |
