BSOD installing Vista SP1

Hi

I get a blue screen error message while installing Vista SP1. During this installation, as you know, a few restart are required. After the first reboot, my laptop shut down unexpectedly.

BSOD critical service failed 0x0000005A

I tried Repair Computer at boot but it can't repair.
I booted up with F8 it failed with the following error message :

StartupRepair V2
6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000
bad driver wrp repair

Repaired computer with a WinRe boot cd.

I can't start Vista Business on safe mode neither normal mode.

I backed up all my datas. I have Ubuntu, UBCD v5, and Hirens Boot CD.

Today, I was loading Ubuntu, Vista Repair CD and Hirens Boot CD and I get suddenly a few shut down. A that moment, I could'nt even load any Live CD, and moreover, F8 Repair Computer failed. At the end, I got a new BSOD with this error message :

STOP: C000021A (Fatal System Error)
The initial session proces or system precess terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0X00000000
(0XC0000001 0X0010034C)

I tried to fix my MBR with :

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

and rebuild my MBR with :

bcdedit.exe /export c:\BCD_Backup
C:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

but nothing changed.

Fortunately, a few hours ago, I passed loading Hiren Boot CD, that's why I'm here.

This new issue (shut down unexpectedly) need to fixed before I reinstall Vista Business.

I need help for my MBR. I have MBRfix and MBR Utility and DiskGenius.

DiskGenius detected 10 errors scanning the surface of my HDD. It repaired 8 of them, and 2 bad track disk are unrepaired. For now, I'm checking with HDTune, the disk surface.

I suspect that my Bios is corrupted by malware, not sure but it could be.

Thanks for help me

 

get a new drive

 

That was my thought too.

Ashanta, can you run the HD Manufacturer's diagnostic disk on the HD.

 

Let us know how this goes...does sound like a drive issue. I use SpinRite to do exhaustive disk scans and repairs.

 

Unfortunately, my laptop shut down unexpectedly during the scan.

I tried with others HD programs for repairing, it shut down during the scan. Hopely, this not occur with Mini Xp from Hirens Boot Cd.

Maybe because when boot up, I have NTLDR missing. I formatted my HDD, that's all. I didn"t rebuild MBR.

 

I don't have such program. I don't think it's on the HB Cd. Maybe with UltimateBoot. Yes, I thinks it's a drive issue. I even reset my Bios to the default, but nothing change. I don't know what to do. It's a risk to reinstall Vista as the computer can shut down from one moment to another.

$90. Worth it. They will refund your $ if you are not satisfied.

 

Yeah, but you can buy a new hard drive for that.

I would run a memtest too just in case. Bad RAM can corrupt a drive, though it is still most likely a bad drive.

 

I could fix errors sectors with HDD Regenerator.

I formatted my HDD on a low level format.

I create one partition for drive C:

On every boot, I got 'NTLDR is missing'.

PS: I've not yet installed any OS

 

Dude, the disk is toasted, get a new one.

 

Thanks to HDD Regenerator and Spinrite at the end, I could save my HDD.

I reinstalled Vista and all is working for now.

 

Awesome...good news...having used SpinRite myself many times in the past I am glad to see it helped (even if partially) in this case.

 

Spinrite is more fast in fix those bad clusters than HDD Regenerator.

It takes 3 hours for Spinrite to repair bad sectors versus 7 hours with HDD Regenerator. That's the main difference !

Thanks Napoleon for your usefull advise !

 

I depends on the way you use them. If you perform a fast scan with HDD Regen 2011, then ask it to only correct the damaged areas, it very fast.

 

I'll check out that tool (HDD Regenerator)....never used it.
