More Problems With My First Rig, Vista Edition, Episode 2

Can't Install Vista, or repair my system help!

Oh and to mke it worsenow when I try to boot Vista, itgive me a black screen, flashes, then stays black

Oh and if this helps when I dont try to boot I get this

So whats wrong, is it Vista, Is it a HDD failure, MoBo malfunction, or just a plain old human error? You Decide!

Next edition: PhysX edition!:)

EDIT: Why does God hate me so? Second HDD, i get a error message at 83% of part two of the installation, now that one goes into a black screen after vista loads the files

What do you mean you can't install or repair the installation?

It would be very unlikely that it'd corrupt the exact same file over a number of installs.

I tried doing a google search on this, and I think this has to be one of the mosy unresponded to topics in message board history:):|da1on2

Ok not sure at what point your at. Are you just installing the disk? Or did it install and windows wont load? It says Error Windows cant start. Is it already installed?

It was already installed, you can see that from the error message he's getting, plus he said that ;)

And the second line was "...when I try to boot into Vista", besides, the look of the error message is how the Vista boot manager looks anyway :).

So this happens each time you try to reinstall or repair?

Is your CPU fan istalled properly? IS your RAM overheating?. Try to REFORMAT your drive and start over. It may have been a corrupt install.Cracker__Jack

Dude FORGET about REPAIRING the intsall. Just INSTALL as though it were new. YOu just have the computer boot from the cd-rom and disable HD boot for the time being.Then it will ask you to delete all partitions do so then create a new partition then it will want to Format drive

and when I tried to clean install it stopped at step 3 at 0% and would not moveda1on2

On my most recent two attempts, the Vista Installer didnt pick up my drive amd the next time was just a black screen

When I did a search I found out most other people got this were dual booting with XP, I'm not

Advice I got from other forums: Tale out USB devices when installing Vista. On my original boot I had a USB keyboard in, now I'm using a PS/2 KB/M, nothing.

Use a fixboot command at the command prompt, havent tried this, and dont know how

Run Windows RE, Said they couldnt fix it

It also happened with someone's Pre Built Alienware

Okay now I found out how to get to the command prompt, but my pc doesnt make it that far

I'll try again and tell how it goes..

Nothing? Anyone?

Now its taking ages to do anything, I have to wait 20 or more minutes per screen

Dude the problem is the Hard Drive is Toast. Buy a new one or connect another1. You can get a 200-300 gb for $50-$80 on newegg.com. You can find 80-160 gb on ebay for less than $50.Cracker__Jack

Are you sure it's the HDD? Because that doesnt explain why it takes over a half hour for the vista installer to go b\from one screen to the next, also the mouse lags. Badly.

Dude maybe its your Physics Processor. If not I dont know what the Hell else to tell you other than It could be the Motherboard. It just sounds terribley like a hardware failure somewhere. Maybe its the Vista CD too, I dont think so tho. I would try installing Windows XP as the next step. If it does the same thing then you know its your system. If Xp does load then maybe its the Vista CD...
