When I try to boot my PC into vista it goes past the bios and then hangs. Thinking this was a disk problem I tried another hd with vista on itand the same happened. if however I press F8 and enter the bios select the drive with my OS on it boots OK the order looks OK and I cant think what to do next any ideas
 
Ive just changed the bios battery just in case. will look at the file(s) if I need to. Thanks for the thoughts deimos256 much appreciated
 
I had something like that happen to me last year. If you have more than one hard drive disconnect all but the one that Vista is on and post what happens. I would have never believed a hard drive would stop Vista from loading but it did.
 
That can also be caused by an external USB drive, which drove me crazy for about a week. :isadizzy:
 
Hey mo / Dexthom

Thanks for the input I do normaly have 2 drives connected and also a flash drive. I am sure Idisconnected all and booted to the single drive with the os on and it it still would not boot I will try next time with out the flash drive just in case I did forgot to remove it.
