• Hi Folks!
  
  Windows vista is also causing lots of boot problems, so I often get questions like this:
  
  I have a Dell Dimension, which won’t boot to Windows (Vista), and none the repair options work:
  
  Startup repair: Reports fix fail due to problem with registry
  
  System Restore: Reports no restore points available
  
  Windows Complete PC Restore: Reports no backups available
  
  Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool: No memory problems
  
  Command Prompt.
  Can’t think of any appropriate command to use here.
  
  So I booted with the system DVD (as one would with XP) but the upgrade
  option has been greyed don’t want to do a clean install. I want to restore existing
  installation.
  
  What should I do?
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  
  And here is the answer:
  
  You can't do a 'repair install' because you need to launch the Vista DVD
  from within Windows, not, as you have been doing, booting straight from the
  DVD; that is why the 'upgrade' is greyed out.
  
  If you cannot launch Vista and none of the repair options will work a clean
  install is the only other variant.
  
  To save problems in future it is actually a good idea to image the hard
  drive, using something like True Image. What I do is install operating system, download all updates, check system I working okay for a day or two, activate system, then image the drive/partition. Any time I get a problem I can re-image the drive/partition quickly and be up and running without much trouble. And minor fixes are done by using any registry repair software, there are plenty of them on the market today.
  
  Cheers,
  Carl

• Note that this is for Intel based systems only (mainly laptops) and you would be well advised to IMAGE your disk BEFORE YOU TRY THIS just in case something happens and you cannot boot your Vista (IMAGE, IMAGE, IMAGE!!!)
  
  Once you have your disk images precede with the following:
  
  Backup your registry or make a restore point just in case.
  
  Under search: regedit
  Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\
  
  Locate: folder "iaStor"
  Under "iaStor" you will find a folder named "Parameter" > delete this folder
  
  Locate: folder "iaStorv"
  Under "iaStorv" you will find a folder named "Parameter" > delete this folder
  
  Reload Vista
  
  
  Cheers,
