    Vista wont boot need help

    I was booting my computer up and it did not load into Vista 32, it came to the Vista splash screen where the green bar moves indicating that Vista is loading but it just kept loading and never booted up. Also when I tried safe mode at the time it stopped at crcdisk.sys.

    So I went into Bios and changed the SATA operation settings from AHCI to ATA and disabled Flash Cache Module as I read somewhere someone had the same problem. Vista then booted fine but was a little slow so I rebooted and went into Bios and changed back the settings to AHCI and enabled Flash Cache Module.

    Now Vista does not load at all, it reboots before getting to the Vista splash/green bar screen. I have tried all the F8 options and all of them behave similarly. I also tried Startup Recovery and after an hour of that it did not solve the problem. It is not a hardware problem as all the diagnostic tests come back fine.

    I do not know what to do now, can someone please help?

    If you have a Vista OS disc, put it in the CD-ROM and boot from it.
    Choose the REPAIR option. It's done wonders for me quite a few times already!
