BSOD

[Andys]

Hi, yesterday I formatted one of my partition and now when I go to boot my pc it won't boot up no matter what I do I get blue screend and it restarts. I've tried with the vista cd but I can't seem to fix it. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Try formatting the drive again?

How do you expect me to do that when my pc won't boot up?

Hello,

Not sure if this still applies or not - the most common BSOD at boot is UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUE (BSOD 0x000000ED).

The most common fix for this is:
From Windows CD - boot recovery console (even the VistaCD has an option for this), from there - run "chkdsk /r /p", when that is done, you might want to run fixboot or fixmbr.

This BSOD is more commonly caused when the boot sector of the HDD is corrupt, (or bootable part of partition is corrupt), fixmbr (fix master boot record) and fixboot are designed to repair in that instance.

Kind Regards,

wow. a BSOD normally means ur pc is fried or has a big error.
Well, if your getting a BSOD and its on boot, what part of boot do you get to?
The Loading Screen or the 'info Stage' Eg, where it tells you about bios and drives ?
