Unbootable Vista Closed

Question

Hello,

When trying to load Vista the PC goes through the initial boot-up process then just stops directly after the point when the system could load the OS via the CD/DVD drive.

I suspect that a system file is missing or is corrupt.

Can anyone provide a list of files that are expected to be seen in the initial base part of the main drive.

Or otherwise what do I need to do to repair the boot-up sequence without losing the configuration of teh drive.

Thank you for any help.

Thank you for the response. As I'm not at the machine concerned, I can't presently check the various files. I'll reply as soon as I have done the various checks.

I'm writing this from having managed to logg-in into Vista.

What I found was Boot-ini was missing. This I realised when I saw a file called Boot.ini.saved.

I copied and pasted this file then changed the name.

It worked. Now got the system fully upadtes and back to using Vista.
