Can't Start Vista, and problems with Startup Repair!

Hi,

I do not know what I did wrong, but one day mysteriously Vista started
rebooting non-stop. This would happen even if I tried Safe Mode or Last Know
Good Config. My PC suggested that I try Startup Repair from my Vista DVD, but
when I tried using it, it was stuck for over an hour searching for Windows
installations. To put the cherry on the top, I have BitLocker enabled right
now, so I can't use any other way to forage my files elsewhere. I really
don't know what to do.

Re: Can't Start Vista, and problems with Startup Repair!

Once you enabled bitlocker, you pretty much limited your options. Anyone
using it MUST make regular backups if they have anything of value on the
computer, and why use bitlocker if you don't.

Re: Can't Start Vista, and problems with Startup Repair!

Could be disk failure. If you have no other options, I suggest you start
with a boot disk check utility like HDD regenerator to locate and mark bad
sectors. This could waste of a whole night but it could save your data.
