[Abbiey]

Hello friends i am using an acer aspire laptop installed with windows vista . Recently i upgraded my Operating system to Windows 7. After upgrading when i booted in for the first time i got this error message 0xc0000359. I am totally unaware of this error. Where as this has not been the case with my desktop which also is upgraded. please tell me how to solve this problem.

First of all i would like to ask you some thing can you tell me whether you have upgraded your system with the dvd or performed a clean install so after that i can tell you what would be the actual error. But it seems as you have an incorrect version of the iastor.sys file. Try to specify all the specifications in your further replies.

Thanks for taking the initiative for replying me. As you have asked me about the installation so let me make it clear that i have upgraded my system from windows vista to windows 7. And after that i started getting this error as you have mentioned that there is some error in the iastor.sys file one of my friends also suggested that. Please suggest me a solution.

It seems as your system was infected prior to the upgradation have you scanned your system before the upgradation. If not then i think that you must try to do so. Also i would suggest you to download the MBAM (malwarebytes antimalware ) Utility and install it on to your system. After installing it just run a quick scan and your problem will be fixed.

Hi Although your suggestion seemed good but gradually it resulted of no use. I scanned my system with the antivirus but no threats could be detected by it. So i thought that it would be because i have not updated the antivirus so i downloaded the malwarbytes antimalware utility but that too proved of no use please suggest some other solution.

This type of error usually occurs when the mass storage drive's driver gets corrupted or is not compatible with the system. So you must try to contact the mass storage drive’s manufacturer to obtain the latest driver you can also get it from the website of the manufacturer. lastly skip adding the driver during the deployment to check the result.
