Problem in installing Windows Vista

Asked By Bennison 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/07/2011

Hi,

I am using Dell Inspiron 530S. Also it has a 2GB RAM. I was using Ubuntu Linux, as my Operating System until a few days ago when my operating system crashed. Then I installed Windows Vista successfully but after working for a few minutes a blue screen is showed for a second and PC is restarted.

I was unable to see the error message as it happened so fast. How can I solve this problem??

Any Guess.

Problem in installing Windows Vista

I have a solution for this and it successfully works. I had Windows Vista Home basic  on my computer. So I had to get Windows Vista ultimate, then I changed my computer BIOS to boot from DVD/CD drive. Then I restarted my computer and it did that and then it asked me if I wanted to reformat or repair the disk. So I typed in "R" and it took me to recovery console and then in there I typed "CHKDSK" after few minutes it came with results and then after this I typed in "FIXBOOT" and pressed enter.

This command makes a new startup sector on the system partition. After that I typed in exit and then it restarted my computer. After you restart, it will ask if you want to start your system in safe mode, regular mode and other mode. Than choose the, "last good configuration" and after that your computer starts normally with no BSOD problems or error and you still have all the data available on your computer.

Problem in installing Windows Vista

If you receive the blue screen error after installing Windows Vista, remember the last application or hardware you installed. Restart your computer then uninstall and reinstall that application or hardware. See if this works. In case the last you installed on your computer is a device or hardware like the video card, sound card, or network adapter, uninstall the driver but don’t re-install it yet.

Restart your computer when you are prompted then see if it works. If the blue screen error didn’t appear, try installing the driver back. Restart the computer and see if the error comes back. If the error appears again, try installing the latest version of the driver if one is available then see if it works.
