Still need help? Ask your computer question now.
is there any freeware/shareware tool that repairs vista’s startup problem? I lost my vista dvd recently.
Not that I know of.
Does the use of the startup repair tool format the hard disk. In this case i might lose all my data.
Please help!
No. It attempts to find errors and fixes them.
At step No. 5 above, no operating system shows up and when I press “load drivers’ my hard disk drivers are not found. Consequently start up repair does not work. Any suggestions?
Ash.
I seems like it’s not seeing the hard drive. Are you sure the hard drive is working?
