After sp2 reboot vista dead

Installed vista sp2 for the 2nd time.. Didnt got any error after the first time except "vista did not install" ...now after the 2nd time , vista doesnt boot anymore...just a blackscreen an safe mode doesnt work too ... What now?



Thx

 

After the installation, you are ordered to restart.
Windows will shutdown and begin to write new SP.
After that, it would boot-up but is a blackscreen. You need to wait about 10 to 15minutes if not mistaken, then you can enjoy SP2.

 

I have been waiting 3 hours now and still only enjoy a blackscreen...


@edit:
It doesnt rly make anything on the hd..also safe mode boot doesnt work..and booteing from a live cd doesnt work either

 

If you can't boot from a live CD then its possibly hardware - live CDs rtun entirely from the CD drive...

 

Didnt had any problems with my asus g50vt-a1 yet...only with the service pack :/

 

Make sure your BIOS settings are right. I can't imagine why SP2 would change them if it did, but your HDD controller needs to be set the same as it was prior to installation (APCI or Default I think, depending on wether or not you use RAID). If your expecting the computer to boot from the DVD drive, make sure the BIOS is set to check the DVD drive before the HDD in the boot order menu.

 

System restore... should be available on the F8 menu at bootup... or if you have a Vista install disc you can use that to run system restore.

 

Think thehd priority didnt change and cjecked the dvd/hdd priority ofc...rly dont get it...evrrything worked until sp2. -.-

 

sorry for double post but i rly need my laptop back for work/school.

can i somehow move back my windows ? no restore points.. only a restore cd but this will delete everything from c: ?

so i thought about booting from an external hdd and copy some windows folder over my current one?

thanks

 

Replacing Windows folders won't work.

This would only help if you know which files are responsible and which files are not hardware dependant and replace them individually.

The only way you can do that is possibly if a windows programmer helped you...

If you run the repair facility of a CD it should keep your files - but software may stop working - may - as it varies, I know a repair messes up all Sony utilities on my Vaio...

 

well i dont have a vista cd.. only the restore cd.. and the first opo i get it like "continueing this will delete all your data"...

 

Hmmm

I was able to run a Vista repair off my recovery disc once... but other's haven't so.. that's possibly a no go...

Can you remove the HDD, back up the data on a secondary computer and start from scratch?

 

Probabaly better to copy user files over to external then re-install Windows with the restore cd.
You might be able to copy some applications also but if they don't work it's re-install time.

 

if i´m able to get a orig. vista home premium x64 cd, could i repair it then?
or wouldnt that work with my vista?

 

I suppose it should work.

But repairs aren't as good as a recovery/clean instal if something was really messed up.
