Guest Chipmunk Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I realise this may not be the correct place to post but so far have not been able to find an active news group for windows vista. Since increasing the size of the partition on which i have Vista Home Basic installed it has refuses to boot, stops at BSD: 'If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check for viruses on your computer, remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured, and terminated. Rucn CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and the restart your computer. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFFA60005AF900, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)' I have run an up to date virus checker over the partition, rebuilt the partition table, reinstalled the MBR, de fragmented the entire disk, run DSKCHK /F, tried the rescue from the CD, tried re-installing drivers, searched the knowledge base and many community forums, all without locating a solution. And contacted MS who say i'm not entitled to ANY support unless i pay then 46GBP....back to Linux me thinks, unless anyone here can help or direct me to an active support/news group. <rant> Think i should have bought XP64 instead as Vista seems to be back in the WinSE era with wierd issues, incompatabilities (half my software won't run), driver problems and it tries to tell me how i should use my computer, wants to install run security software thats not secure and not needed on my system etc. etc. Stuff that by default should be turned off with the option to turn it on if required, instead i have to rumage around in its internals to find some way to turn stuff off and make it stay off .... ARGGGG. </rant> Thanx for any feedback. Chipmunk
