    Vista Won't Boot on Acer Aspire 4730Z

    Acer Aspire 4730Z running Vista Home 32

    I've had a multitude of issues, but where I'm at now is as follows:

    If I startup normally, after the green scrolling bar for Windows comes on, it BSODs for a split second and reboots.

    If I safe mode, it stalls and/or reboots after crcdisk.sys

    If I boot from Restore disk (my new laptop did not come with original installation disk), and click repair (as opposed to install) it begins searching for my OS even though my OS is listed in the background, and it never stops searching.

    BSOD I originally had was UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, but now is just a code STOP: 0X0000007B (0X80599BB0, 0XC0000034, 0X0000000000, 0X000000000) which according to an online guide is INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE


    Please help. It's driving me nuts. And been going on for almost a week.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    I als had the same problem, and to solve this issue I went in Bios and turned ACHI to ATA mode and system started booting perfectly. However, I wasnt able to get ACHI Enabled again in OS. It all started after getting update, vista wasnt booting at all. Also try doing chkdsk C: /r /p from a command prompt and see if it gives some outputs.

    After searching a ton of other sites, I finally stumbled upon some info on some other sites. I don't remember the sites but basically I switched from IDE back to ACHI and then rebooted. The first time, it stalled. The next time it took a little while but then it booted right into chkdisk so it's doing that now. Taking forever and I'm getting a ton of "file record segment xxxxxx is unreadable. But it's also fixed and deleted quite a few so we'll see. I'll come back if I have any other issues. Thanks for your response though.
