Howevever, I do get a ntoskrnl error too when I try to boot from the hardddisk. The best way to check for me was to put the vista system disk on another computer with a usb2 cradle : result on a vista machine instant crash as soon as plugged in But no problem with XP, I could check my disk with scandisk and see there was no error on it This way I know it comes from the disk, and that the disk is not faulty, there is just something written on it which vista doesn't like If you think it is a memory issue, have you tried the memory test you can do on startup where you can chose normal windows boot, sabfe mode, etc.

This would be a quick way to see your memory is faulty or not I guess faulty memory would not pass the test Thanks for this mate! Testing with just 1 of the memories never came to my mind. But it helped! It appears that one of them isn't working. I've just installed Vista again and everything works fine! Have to get a new memory on my warranty. Glad it worked, It was pretty clear that it's a memory failure issue after you said that you've formatted your HD and it also didn't boot.

When I boot normally If I am to attempt to boot in safe-mode with Command Promt I get the original error message and a cycle is created. Is there a way to boot from the DVD, and acces Command Prompt without reformating my hard-drive and reinstalling vista. I don't know if people are still focusing on this problem If you have two harddisks I would suggest you unplugged or switched off in the bios the one on which windows is installed, and see if the installation DVD works this way.

If it doesn't, you will know your problem does not come from your windows installation. If it does, you will have to install Windows on the other disk, get back your data on the faulty windows installation from another computer or usb craddle , and format the disk. If you have changed your hardware since your first windows installation, maybe the problem with your windows DVD comes from there.

The new writer was working perfectly on a fully installed Vista with all the drivers. But then something went wrong during SP1 install, it seemed to install completely but when the computer restarted I got the ntoskrnl. I was able to boot up from the DVD the first time, but windows setup doesn't correctly recognise my dvd writer for some reason or another, and I guess that's the reason why my windows installation was corrupted when attempting a windows restoration.

I was warned that the restoration had failed, and when I restarted the windows DVD didn't boot anymore, I got the clfs. I unplugged the disk on which windows was and booted from the DVD. It worked, but when I tried a new windows installation it got corrupted, and I got a message saying installation had failed and I had to start again. I changed back to my former DVD writer, and then installation worked correctly until the end, I installed Service Pack one before installing any drivers on my fresh windows installation.

I tried booting from the new windows installation but with my former windows disk plugged in, and I got the same clfs.

I now have a fully working Vista system again, with all drivers installed, my two hardisks and my new sata dvd writer, my ide dvd writer back in a cupboard, but now I know I still need it if I have to use the Vista DVD And I only have one hard-drive.

I was able to boot from the DVD Once I do boot from the disk, and click next I really don't want to have to reinstall Vista again. I am pretty sure I can load the files from the DVD from cmd prompt Does anybody know how to get to command prompt after booting form the DVD?

Is there another way to get to command prompt? Or, is there another way to restore these files? You don't need to install Vista again if your DVD works. On the DVD you have the choice between an installation and a repair mode. If the repair mode works correctly, it will find your windows partition, and try to restore it. If that fails if the windows partition is not found , you get to a screen with some program icons, one of them being the dos prompt, but it is not the first step. I replaced one ata time tried restarting and replaceing the file that had the error.

I replaced Hal. I can't help you. Maybe you could help me. What command is used to replace files on the C: drive with files from the virutal X: drive or the D: drive, I don't know which one I am supposed to use to the C: drive. I tried the solution suggested had to get hal.

Will let you know if its succesful. Mark Scanel wrote:. Trust me, if you want it to boot again you have to replace all the files I listed. Some files will not give you boot errors but not replacing them will cause the system to be unstable more than it already is or not boot at all. I did the exact thing you did and had the exact same issue, that's when I knew that there must be other files that caused the crash at boot mainly Hal.

Could you please help? I am facing the same ntoskrnl. I've done what digitalica suggested but I'm still on the black screen. What else I can do? The computer ran fine for a week without any problem whatsoever and then suddenly did that to me. So I repaired it with the Vista DVD and suprisingly it worked, but then it did it again today 2 days later.

This sin't because I rebooted as the computer was closed and reopened 2 times before the error reapeared. I succeeded in repairing the error and booting on Vista again but since this is the second time it happens I'm guessing it's not going to stop now. I'm wondering if I have to replace hal. I don't think this solution applies to your problem, But it MIGHT work if the corrupted file s in your PC is one of the files listed here to be replaced.

I have tried and with no success. Now it has been doing this to me for a week It's not that bad since it doesn't disable me from accessing the computer, but I have to do a fixboot with the vista dvd every morning, and having to do that keeps someone from working on it in the morning when Im no there.

Try to perform a manual system restore to fix the issue. Restart the computer manually. This is because ntoskrnl. Another Windows service, installed app, corrupted system files, or attached peripheral could all cause the Windows ntoskrnl. The best way to try and resolve this issue is by checking your Windows system files , scanning for malware or viruses , and updating your PC. As ntoskrnl.

Windows works well when all of its required system files are in place. One possible way to fix this is by running the chkdsk and sfc command-line tools using the Windows PowerShell. These tools will check your installation and hard drive for missing or corrupt files.
