| 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.
