ChrisGuest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have not been able to boot into Vista after i received a windows update around Feb 15th.I've tried using Windows Repair cannot find the operating system and hangs after "Next" has been clicked.I suspect that something has been corrupted, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for.I also have Linux installed so I can do some disk checks using TestDisk, fdisk and ntsfinfo. I have pasted these below, but I don't see anything obviously wrong.What should I be looking for in some system log in order to diagnose the problem?TestDisk 6.8, Data Recovery Utility, August 2007http://www.cgsecurity.orgDisk /dev/sda - 320 GB / 298 GiB - CHS 38914 255 63 Partition Start End Size in sectorsD HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 7571 254 63 121644117D HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 24102 37 62 387200960D HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 37686 228 46 605439937D HPFS - NTFS 7573 18 62 9612 200 60 32768000D FAT32 LBA 9612 200 61 9689 70 45 1228800 [TT9XVT09P01]D FAT16 LBA 9689 103 15 9714 197 19 407552 [NO NAME]D Linux 24103 1 1 37128 254 60 209262624D Linux Swap 37129 1 1 37685 254 41 8948120D HPFS - NTFS 37686 228 47 38912 162 34 19691520 [HP_RECOVERY]D HPFS - NTFS 37687 71 17 38912 227 35 19689472 [HP_RECOVERY]Structure: Ok.
