vista unable to boot, even in safe mode

Jeff Brooks · 11-01-2008, 07:13 AM

Hi,

Running an Evesham pc so can't contact them ! Vista was installed as standard.

Been taking automatic updates for some time. Foolishly went to download Service Pack 1 yesterday and it's now crashed, won't boot up, even in safe mode, and the only restore point it's offering is the point at which it started installing SP1 so no use.

Going into safe mode suggests loading files but just hangs (2.1/2hrs+) part way through.

I'm also getting an error 0xc0000034 when just booting normally (non-safe mode)?

Any tools out there that will enable me to boot this machine up? or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Jeff
