ntoskrnl.exe oxc0000098 error while loading

[tmore]

Hi there,

Need some assistance! I don't have the Vista operating disk and everywhere I search to resolve needs the disk...any suggestions?

What is it that you are trying to do that always leads to the Vista OS DVD? Re-install of Vista, repair, etc...?

I believe that he's trying to reinstall due to the error message that he has. First, when does the error occur? Also, what service pack is it?

Thanks - the error occurs when I first turn on the computer (beginner here!). There is the window recovery image and then it flips to the windows boot manager where the error appears....my best guess is SP1.
