Vista Ultimate booting problem

When you tried to repair vista with the DVD try loading the old raid/sata drivers (press F6 to load storage drivers etc etc) It could be that vista can't access the drive to find restore points.

It is not unusual that the last or any other restore point does not work.
I have had this happen more than once. This is a prime example ot why one should do a ghost image periodically.

As for your current situation, I do not think you can get out of it unless you have a ghost or similar image of a recent good configuration.

Hi everyone,

I managed to get it sorted out by disabling the raid functions in the bios. For some reason I didn't think of doing that before. After it managed to startup again only then Windows update reported that the update was successful. I however decided to install the driver package from Nvidia website.

Vista is now however not reporting my Nforce 4 SATA controller anymore. I will have to look into that still.

Thanks for the help guys
