I genuienly wish I could use your advice to reboot the the computer using an installation disc or execute a startup repair. The windows logo does not even appear, needless to say you cannot access to the welcome screen, where it asks for password, or the desktop.
Is my computer seriously damaged? I don't think it is a virus issue because I have a working Norton Security Suit which always give a warning when it detected a suspicious element. I'm still looking for a solution. If anybody has had a similar issue and has it resolved, please help me.
Damaged installations resulting from file corruption can happen any time. Most times the system can get past this by replacing damaged files, but sometimes it affects the system's ability to load.
As you've already tried the repair options, your next logical step it to try running the system file check sfc that I mentioned. If you don't have the means to remove the drive to recover data, I would suggest employing the services of a local technician for assistance in preserving data. But how to go to the recovery environment? Do you mean Safemode with Command Prompt? If so I cannot gain access to that as I have tried repeatedly.
I have a Dell Inspiron , which a couple of weeks ago I was copying some pictures off a camera card via a card reader hub and the power fluctuated in the apartment. The lights flickered and dimmed three times in about 10 secs.
The next day the laptop kept freezing up a few minutes after opening Internet Explorer. I started it in smart mode, it ran checkdisk, still no better. I had the recovery disks that I made after buying it and was able to restore it to starting conditions, but still it would hang up. Initial google searches suggested it might be corrupted OS files and a checkdisk would fix it.
It would still hang up. I started Windows off my recovery disk, had it do a repair. I thought I was home free, I used Internet explorer, defragged hard drive, closed and opened things. It seemed like everything was fine, so I tried to reinstall my Kaspersky, which was going fine right up until the last sliver of the installation bar and then it froze.
I was able to run some diagnostics from BIOS and got the status 78 hard disk error, which google searches said it was a sign the HD is going or already gone. So my question is : Is this just a hardware issue? Will a new HD fix it, or is there a problem with my windows? My important files were backed up, so losing the old drive is not a big deal. Please help me solve this problem. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

In reply to Rick Rogers's post on February 3, Thanks very much for your suggestion. If it is a damaged installation as you said, wouldn't it have happened earlier? But I appreciate it. Diana D. In reply to TroubleInviter's post on February 3, Hi, I would suggest that you run startup repair on the computer using the Vista DVD and check if it works.

You can also try waiting a while. It took what felt like 10 years to load Vista Ultimate on there and ran like garbage, until I updated the BIOS and drivers after installation.
Thank you for the post. I figured out what it was, I had to create a boot disc using seagate disc wizard and then format the harddrive. After that vista installed with no problem. If I tried with more than 2Gb Vista 64 freeze during installation or during normal use. I tried to disable the remapping RAM Mine was a voltage issue.
I set mine to 2. Good Luck!!! Sorry for the long reply, but I never was sent a message saying someone replied. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Microsoft Online Services TechCenter.

Thursday, April 3, PM. A few things to try: 1. Check your manufacturer's website to see if there is a BIOS update. Hope this helps. Thursday, April 10, PM. Saturday, April 12, PM. For everyone else who sees this
