Hello. I installed Windows Vista Ultimate less than a week ago, and I loved it.
Until today.
Today, I decided to scan my computer of spyware using the latest version of
Spy Sweeper. After the scan was finished it said "found potentially harmful
root kit" (or something similar). So I quarantined the root kit. Spy Sweeper
then said "Please restart your computer in order to remove rootkit" so I
clicked "yes" and my computer restarted.
Now here's the problem. My computer won't boot properly. It just loads a
black screen. I rebooted several times, and a message came up. It said
"Windows has recovered from an error" and it said to boot in safe mode. The
message also said to "repair your computer by inserting your installation
disc to repair your computer". After i tried booting in safe mode, nothing
happened. Its just the same black screen. Now I decided to insert the
installation disc to repair my computer. The Windows Vista installation menu
came up and clicked on "Repair my computer." Now it says "searching for
windows installations." After that it said "Windows found problems with your
Computer's startup options. Do you want to apply repairs?" And I said yes.
Then a message poped up and said "Failed to save startup options". Then
Windows said to "select an operating system to repair. If you don't see your
operating system listed click load drivers to load drivers for your hdd." No
operation system was listed. I then clicked on "load drivers." A message came
up and said "Insert the installtion media for device and locate the driver."
Then it brought up windows explorer and the only files you can open up are
"setup information" files. I have no idea what to do. So I turned off my
computer and tried to boot again. Now Windows gives me this error messgae
"File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
Help!!
