I have a HP dv6772 Pavillion Entertainment laptop 8 months old, vista No sp1.
I installed (heaven forbid) Reg-mechanic and spyware doctor.
Everything was working fine for a few days and I did a hard shutdown by holding the power button down. ( I'm tired of Vista burying the shutdown button under three sub-menues). After that shutdown I got the chckdsk at boot.( I think this is what caused it), ) I let it run and no errors. I booted several times and let chckdsk run and some time not run. I ran Reg mechanic and did a complete restore to no avail. I uninstalled reg mechanic to no avail. I made a system checkpoint before all the new software BUT, I cant run system restore because the system says there is a disk error which needs to run first- IE catch 22,

I have found web support at microsoft that listed a reg key to change ( deleting a "/" to remove the error but the key was correct and did not need changing. I also found a fix that required CMD entries to try but I 'm not good at DOS commands and could not get this fix to work.
