My new laptop has had this problem twice since I bought it. The first time I
had to use the recovery disk. Do you think it is a Vista problem or a
hardware problem? I don't want to lose all of my files AGAIN! Is there any
way to save them or is there a fix other than reinstalling the OS? I've
tried all of recovery tools that can repair the computer without deleting my
files but none have worked. Here is what Startup Repair gives as details of
the problem:

Problem Event Name: StartupRepairV2
Problem Signature 01: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386
Problem Signature 03: 6
Problem Signature 04: 1507351
Problem Signature 05: CorruptFile
Problem Signature 06: CorruptFile
Problem Signature 07: 3221226017
Problem Signature 08: 1
Problem Signature 09: WrpRepair
Problem Signature 10: 0
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033


Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone had an answer to this problem as I am experiencing
the same issue? Is it is possible to fix without losing my files? I cannot
get the computer even boot in safe mode.

Please help.

I got my second customer yesterday ,who's profile folder and other
folders (containing the 'My documents' and 'My picture' folders) have
been whiped by Vista itself. So this is not a standalone incident ,but
recurrent.
This happens due to auto-repair (Vista Startup Repair) functions of
vista which occurs on a bad install of the updates or disk problems.
The install of the vista updates occurs by default at boot time.
The actual problem message is :
' Vista Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically '
Details :
problem event name: startup repair v2
problem signature 01: failover
problem signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386 problem signature

problem signature 06: no root cause problem signature 07: 0 problem
signature 08: 2 problem signature 09: wrp repair problem signature 10: 2
OS version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1 local ID: 1033

Example : '_http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?p=7200_'
([url]http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?p=7200[/url])

So be warned and take backups , also try to put your personal
docs/folders/files OUTSIDE your profile folder ,preferably on another
partition ,even better another drive , even better a NAS !

_To_get_the_customer_helped_(getting_personal_data_back):_
-DO NOT EXECUTE MANUFACTERERS REPAIR (available from vista repair
console)
-STOP WORKING ON THE DRIVE CONTAINING YOUR VISTA INSTALL (the more you
work on it ,the more things won't be recovered)
-If possible take disk image (Norton ghost 11,Acronis Trueimage,etc.)
from the problem disk before doiing the recovery and reinstall.
-Launch file recovery tools (GetDataBack NTFS,EasyRecovery,Disk
Commander,O&O Recovery,etc.) from other pc or livecd/dvd to extract
personal data

_Getting_VISTA_back_running_:_
-or choose MANUFACTERERS repair option in repair console (if no DVD
give with the pc)
-or use DVD to reinstall VISTA on the pc.


You can try repairing system files and so by trying to recover and
reinstall the files only (example use sfc /scannow ,etc : 'Some Windows
Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop responding'
([url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833[/url]) ) .But chances are you'll end
up installing the whole pc again and loose loads of time.

So final conclusion :

I have moved the default location that I save my files to since the early
Beta builds.
Generally it is on a different HDD or partition.
I do not like my data overwritten when I reinstall an OS.

I don't know if this is going to work yet, but it seems hopeful....

I was having the same problem of the startup tool failing over and over
again after SP1 install. After trying just about every option in
SafeMode, it seems that the one (I don't remember the verbiage exactly)
'Return to the last known working configuration (advanced)' is what is
working.

It's the only option that has gotten me past the initial windows launch
and then blue screen and startup tool. When I used this, it took me
to the "swirly" vista background and now is installing stage 2 of the
SP.

Just wanted to share that in case it's helpful for anyone else who
might be on the same freak-out mode as I am at the thought of losing my
data. :)

So after Stage 2 of SP1 was done, it rebooted again. BSOD, and then the
next reboot took me to a safemode-type screen where I chose the repair
option.

This got me back to the Windows failed launch and the Startup Repair
"Tool" which failed miserably. It also helpfully pointed out the root
cause as being a recent upgrade. DUH!

Using the "Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)" from the F8 safe
mode screen is now ending in BSOD. Still need stage 3 of SP1. Or to
go back to stage 0, that would be fine, too, at this point.

Hold on (long reading but it's worth it) : this story didn't end (I
hoped it did ,but it didn't :mad:). This machine was a Packard Bell ,for
which this company refused to hand me over the install DVD. So I fetched
an Vista OEM SP1 from the net. I advise NEVER to buy a packard bell !
Worst support ever !


Nice install guideline doc over here : 'Clean Vista install WITH NO
ACTIVATION - Notebook Forums and Laptop Discussion'
([url]http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=120228[/url])

During the reinstall of this machine I found some VERY interesting
facts :

The re-installation ALWAYS interrupted with either BLUES SCREENS OF
DEATH (BSOD) , or were interrupted during the expanding phase of the
files.
Doubting that I had a good source ,I burned over and over the same iso
again ,with all possible variations (change of
reader,cable,burnsoft,medium,burnspeeds,etc ..) .
After browsing numerous hours the web , I came to the conclusion that
this must be a hardware problem.

So I removed 1 memory bar (there were 2 present of 1Gb) ,and .... :

:p NOW THE INSTALLATION PROCEEDED ,AND FINALIZED :p


Hmm .. did I say to myself : A beginners error ? Just a memory hardware
error ?
Strange ,because during all other activities with the livecd/dvd ,were
memory is intensively used ,this problem didn't occur ?
So next step : Testing the memory

And what shows : No error reported by mem check tools whatsoever. I
launched 5 different mem check tools.

Hmm even stranger : Conclusion Vista SP1 installation doesn't like 2
bars of memory (or doesn't like the management of the memory) .

Coming to the final conclusion : *The initial problem of the VISTA
corruption occurs on the installation of a certain update (yet unclear
if only with SP1 or another) ,together with a certain chipset (unknown
which ones) AND THE PRESENCE OF 2 MEMORY BARS !!! During this upgrade-or
install- ,a BSOD will occur or the upgrade will fail. But when a repair
will be executed afterwards ,it will fail also because of the presence
of these 2 memory bars. As a result ,many people will launch several
repairs ,ending up with a total loss vista install.

*SO :
WHENEVER INSTALLING SP1-and the following updates- (TROUGH CLEAN
INSTALL OR TROUGH UPGRADE ) MAKE SURE ONLY 1 MEMORY BAR IS PRESENT IN
YOUR SYSTEM. VISTA DOES HAVE ISSUES WITH MEMORY MANAGEMENT OF CERTAIN
BIOS OR CHIPSETS. ONCE YOU'VE DOWNLOADED ALL THE POSSIBLE UPDATES ,YOU
MAY REINSTALL THE SECOND MEMORY BAR.
TO BE SURE ,YOU CAN RUN AFTERWARDS -AFTER THE INSTALL OF ALL UPDATES-
THE 'MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TOOL' (%SystemRoot%\System32\MdSched.exe)

I hope this might help some of you. I've spent 18h hours to conclude
this using the trial and error method.

Kind regards,

K.

Thank you MS for giving me this extra work,I will never run out of
business thanks to you. This reminds me of the days of Windows 3.11 ...

You sure had a strange problem, but it must be more than just 2 sticks of
memory. I've done a couple of clean installs and upgrades of vista OS on a
couple of machines and both have 2 sticks of memory, never had any problems
at all. At least you got through it o.k. Have a great day...

> ...but it must be more than just 2 sticks of

Yes,that's what I mentioned. The combination chipset,bios memory. I'll
bet this never happens with an ASUS mobo ..
The fact of the matter is : This thing occurs while having Vista !
Booting with livedvd bartpe didn't give any problem.

My point exactly ... I've done numerous installs in all sorts of OS's
(linux,unix,windoze,...) on all sorts of hardware ,but the pain this
install gave me was to such extend ,that I had to share it with the
world ...


Anyway ,if people encounter the same thing as me ,feel free to confirm
in this forum thread.

I was having similar problem with vista shutting down with BSOD. So I
installed SP1 thinking that could probably fixe the issue,however, the
installation could not move to stage 2 and was rebooting over and over.
Well, I read this thread and removed 1 memory bar and presto! I was able
to move pass stage 3 and Vista struggled a bit but SP1 was installed and
I am happy again.

Also, just to ensure that I did not have faulty memormy chips I ran a
utility to check them and the results were all fine.

I would suggest you remove 1 memory chip if you're experiencing similar
issues. Who knows, it might work for you just as it did for me.
Thanks fellows!

I am also stuck in an infinite loop of the startup tool which does not
solve the problem. Is there a way to bypass this tool and get to Vista?
If not, if I get a USB-SATA/IDE cable, will I be able to save all my
data?

The problems started when the laptop started getting a blue screen
before the startup then it would restart and reboot to Vista. After a
month or so, it gave me a blue screen about a video driver I believe (it
went quickly) after I watched a DVD movie. Now, it is in the loop. I
have done every option possible and checked all the hardware which is
doing fine. Any advice??? Thanks in advance.

My last resort was to use Active Boot Disk to recover my files. 'Active@
Boot Disk. Bootable LiveCD. Backup, Data Recovery, Disk Eraser &
more...' ([url]http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm[/url])
This is an excellent tool to fix problems and save data. Easy to use
and a lot of options. I got pass the repair and into my hard drive which
I got everything off onto either USB or CD. Now I didnt want to waste
anymore time figuring out the driver but this software I could have. FYI

I was faced with a similar issue on a machine. I keep getting the BSOD
with error 000000be. I tried using the Startup Repair Tool which failed
to repair the problem and would resume it's unsuccessful repair attempt
after each reboot. I used the Dell Restore to factory condition tool
which would never complete and the machine would go into the endless
Startup Repair Tool cycle again.

I removed 1 of the 2 sticks of memory and did the Dell Restore tool.
Upon it's successful completion, I put the memory back in and the
machine is running fine now.

I really can't lose my files as it's all my uni work-I feel incredibly sypid now not to have backed them up. I have a Toshiba Satellite and really don't know much at all about computers and didn't understand a lot of the stuff said. What is removing sticks of memory?? I googled it but no luck]

Thanks
