Hello, trying to find a a place to get help with vista. how do you use gparted if it works
Heres the situation on my laptop. I did something you shouldn’t do earlier
today. I was in a hurry and held the Power Button until the pc shut off.
Instead of shutting down properly, i know.
Now hours later i tried to boot up and now i get this error. I have windows
vista home premium 32bit.
“WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
CAUSE…”
Then it lists options like “last good configuration or safe mode” Ive tried
them all. Also, as the computer attempts to restart with the green vista bar
moving back and forth. i get a blue flash before that error. But the flash is
so fast i have no idea what Blue screen error it is.
I’ve tried entering system recovery by pressing f11 like gateway says right
before startup. Not working.
I’ve also tried booting my Windows vista upgrade CD. The computer tells me
its loading windows files, and the bar loads. I get no options after the
loading ends. computer screen just stays BLACK but lit up. And it stays like
that.
I am lost, confused and SCARED. this is a gateway laptop more than a year old (since july 2007)
old. how on earth does this happen by turning it off wrong. and if things
wern’t worse, all my attempts to start fresh and reinstal windows or repair
windows has failed. and it wont enter system recovery.
need a miracle.
If you cannot help me with the problem at hand, please please suggest a
place i should go online for help.
