I try to boot it from my USB and it acts like it will load and everything, but then it goes straight back to the blue screen with the error code and everything :( I've been at this for 5 hours D:
i think i got the CD correct but when it loads it ask how i want to run it and i just hit default. when i do this it sits and does nothing but remains on. im at the point where it was supposed to ask for a country code but did not.
I'm trying to do this with my Ubuntu 10.04 cd so that I can avoid wasting my last cd-r. NTFS-3G is installed on Ubuntu by default. But when I try to mount the disk I get an error: "No such file or directory." Despite that error, I am able to view the disk drive and the files on it.
The second method in the description works flawlessly. Just boot from disc and run through a few menus (i went to the drive selection screen just to make sure I went as far as possible without formatting), cancel the install, reboot, and it automagically fixes itself.
Tried this a couple times, when I got to the $RmMetadata there was no $TxfLog or $Txf to be found. I put in the removal commands anyways and nothing seemed to happened when I restarted. Thanks anyways :D
Thank you so much for this u saved me m9ney and time. I didn't have a Vista Dvd so I installed xp. I will get windows 7 on my computer though thanks very much for this. :)))))
Great Post thank you...for those who didn't find this helpfull sometimes you might need to remove any files listed other than the $TxfLog...I had to remove $Txf as well in order for mine to work. to remove $Txf just type the same commands and change the name of the file only. Good Luck!
Hey thanks so much for saving my computer. You are awesome, keep up the good work. Just a quick not to all. Make sure you type the spaces in correctly. The video doesn't point them all out but you can tell by reading the screen where they are. It works, just bare the typos you will self incur.
ok i put in the recovery disc for vista, and i even downloaded a official recovery disc from microsoft website, tryed booting it, it says " windows loading files" and looks as if it is going to start , but then immdiatly after the bsod comes up and i have to force shut down my laptop :( any idea's people? please?
Ok Great job The Windows 7 install disk was a champ. I was reading up on how to use the linux method......I have rescued a ton of data with my favorite PUPPY LINUX distro. I scrolled down and saw the windows 7 preinstall and It worked great... THANKS !! And great job
@ernndogg2000 - 61,000 hits, many very happy users putting nice comments, yours says more about you than I could even start to. Have a nice day and don't get too embroiled in your own negative quagmire.
my vista laptop was getting this bsod error code when trying to install an antivirus. I tried to reformat with the vista install cd but it would freeze when loading the cd at startup.
I popped in the windows 7 cd, then canceled and put the vista cd back in and it's installing now as i type. Thanks for the fix!
Help i tryed to install service pack 2 for vista nd wen it rebooted i gt this message !! 0xc0190005 !! 21847/63107 (\registry\machine\schema\wcm://microsoft...) plse help
@GuyMagicFingers Hey my computer boots up normally but I get a screen like that after a while I'm afraid it's gonna stop booting soon what should I do?
I removed the $TxfLog and i did everything else and it still won't boot.. now when i redo it it only has $Repair in green when i go back to that step, any suggestions?
Could you please help me When I boot rescue CD Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 loads and your commands in video does not work do you by any chance know whats wrong?
I believe I did everything as described perfectly...but now I get stuck on a a plain blue screen. Not the BSOD, but just a regular light blue screen with my mouse pointer. I can move the mouse and everything, but it does nothing else. I have tried loading the recovery disk and going throuh the start up and I always end up back at this blue screen. I thought maybe it could be a loading screen, but I have waited for almost 45 minutes and nothing has happened....HELP if you can please!!!
i loaded up the disc and then chose 32 bit windows default setting then after a load of writing on the screen it went black and disc stopped making noise is this normal what should i do?
Thanks for this tip, I've used it once before and it worked, however, I have tried it on another machine which BSODed after SP1 update, and it hasnt worked. I've gone back in and the $TxfLog file has indeed been deleted.
Are there any other solutions that you now of, short of formatting the drive?
@betamale3 - Damn. Shame it didn't work for the 2nd machine. There IS an alternative. If you look in the info above, someone posted about using a Windows 7 installation disk, which is worth a try, however if you have removed the offending file, I don't hold out much hope.
Check the size of Random Access Memory (RAM) in your computer.
Excessive use of computer or a malfunctioning cooling system can make computer/laptop overheated.
• Registry is the most vital part of Win 7. Corrupt registry is the biggest reason for BSOD in Win 7. One way is to clean registry manually but manual tricks could wreck your system completely if you are not a top notch computer expert. More appropriate way is to buy a good registry cleaner reg ion out and PC optimizer
it would be nice if you could have a link on how to make the recovery file into a bootable file.......when i download it it comes as a iso file which my computer wont read so my computer wont read it and i cant fix it : |
This stupid blue screen came on my HP Pavillion and i was worry that i would loose all my music, pictures and porn lol. but thanks to this video tutorial i was able to fix it. it works, thanks for the tech help.
@mikaelaesther - make sure there isn't a floppy in drive A; did you change the Bios to boot from CDRom first? Make sure you burnt the sysresc cd as a boot disk; maybe it didn't burn it properly.
Anything other than that I don't really know as other people have got it to work - try googling. Good luck.
i tryied to use the reboot disk from medion and pressed F8 but when its repairing i get the blue screen with STOP 0000CF1F5, i dont care if i have to reinstall all windows, so do i need the linux disk to do it?
I tried to use the Windows 7 method but it says the disc is in use, and I had to restart and then attempted an upgrade. Thing is, the computer cannot start, it cannot repair, go into safe mode, nothing...it just gives the BSoD.
first my computer freezes and then i restart it and i get the blue screen of death and then i restart it and the it works for the rest of the day....does anybody else have this? and what can i do about i can't be arsed to wait each day 15min with starting my computer
GuyMagicFingers, you're a sexy god of IT. With the latter half of your instructions and my dual-boot Ubuntu, I was able to fix the error. Vista started, healed itself, and now works again.
Now when my car gets broken, if only I can smash the offending part and let it heal itself...
The startup sequence and screens/options offered when using the latest SystemRescueCD are not at all like what's in this video.. No prompt for language code, startup hangs at "Waiting for uevents to be processed" ..
my computer is working fine but i have one problem i was wondering if anyone could help. my computer is a 64 bit op. but i didn't know this before i did the recovery cd, so i did the 32 bit recovery. now my cd drive doesn't work and certain things go really slow. does anyone know how i can get back to 64 bit op system?
I downloaded sysresccd.Burned the image file to disk. When I tried to boot from cd on my dell xps 450( os windows vista.) I got a message stating that the drive is not avaliable. What could be wrong?
now i have a bigger problem i deleted the log out of sda 2 and sda 1. my computer isn't blue screening anymore but it goes to system repair and sits on attempting repairs for a long time. im lost
i deleted the $TxfLog but my comp. is still blue screening same error. I did notice that $Txf was there when i deleted the Log would that have anything to do with it?
bloody legend, thanks heaps for a very informative vid. my pc is alive again thanks to you. got it to boot from vista cd, reformatted for fresh install (just to be sure) and all seems ok now, question is do i try and re-install sp1 and other vista updates??? should just buy a mac!! thanks again, if only microsoft could offer the same support!!
@73dkirky - yes, definitely install all the updates for Vista. Don't use the machine whilst you're doing them tho - this is often why the C1F5 error occurs (during an interruption of installing SP1) - Later SPs have a fix to prevent this horrible error happening again. Glad u got it sorted.
I know that the following error is a common indicator of driver (software) problem, but I wanna know: could this blue screen of death error: stop 0x00000024 indicate in any case problem with cables, power supply (long time working PC) or something similar Anyone know?
@everyoneSalegend - take your hard drive out, stick it in another machine and run checkdisk on it in Windows on the other machine. Remember to tick the two boxes underneath (Automatically fix file systems & Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors)
@GuyMagicFingers gday, yeah good question, im not up with all the computer info so thats why i asked to ensure i didnt stuff my system more than it already is. great info, hopefully i can have this fixed soon. cheers
I found an alternate method that works as well. Insert a Windows 7 Installation disc, boot into the first part of the installation and cancel the install. It fixes the corrupt $TfxLog.
Hey that actually worked out pretty fine! Thank you very much, and for the people on the blog where you found it too.
jkau94, have you changed back in your boot options to HDD as your first boot option? Otherwise it will be slow because it is trying to boot from the CD first. Well if this is the case, just press F2 at the startup and change it back.
@gary028201 - A:\ is your floppy drive. You need to go into the BIOS (F2 on startup, normally) and change the BOOT priority to CD drive (usually D:\) first.
Subsequent recurrence of boot problems fixed too with the RescueCD...It fixed badly knackered NTFS.SYS and sorted laptop after I used it to delete all metadata on Vista and WinRE partitions. Thx so much for pointing me in direction of RescueCD..will never be without it!
I try to boot it from my USB and it acts like it will load and everything, but then it goes straight back to the blue screen with the error code and everything :( I've been at this for 5 hours D:

bloody legend, thanks heaps for a very informative vid. my pc is alive again thanks to you. got it to boot from vista cd, reformatted for fresh install (just to be sure) and all seems ok now, question is do i try and re-install sp1 and other vista updates??? should just buy a mac!! thanks again, if only microsoft could offer the same support!!
73dkirky 1 year ago
@73dkirky - yes, definitely install all the updates for Vista. Don't use the machine whilst you're doing them tho - this is often why the C1F5 error occurs (during an interruption of installing SP1) - Later SPs have a fix to prevent this horrible error happening again. Glad u got it sorted.

I know that the following error is a common indicator of driver (software) problem, but I wanna know: could this blue screen of death error: stop 0x00000024 indicate in any case problem with cables, power supply (long time working PC) or something similar Anyone know?

@everyoneSalegend - take your hard drive out, stick it in another machine and run checkdisk on it in Windows on the other machine. Remember to tick the two boxes underneath (Automatically fix file systems & Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors)

@angelomorgan813 - make a note of the BSOD code and try googling it for a fix. This vid is only for the 0x00000CF5 BSOD.
GuyMagicFingers 1 year ago
hey guy, is this procedure only for a mac running vista? i have the same error on my dell and was wondering if your procedure would fix it?
73dkirky 1 year ago
@73dkirky - Can Macs run Vista?! This procedure is specifically for a PC running Vista and getting the C1F5 BSOD. Good luck.

Now Im getting 0x0000007B
jeeesus
jesster21 2 years ago
@jesster21 - try googling it dude, There are a lot of articles about 07B, but they don't sound good!
GuyMagicFingers 2 years ago
Yeah I shouldn't have started bitching about the 0x7B quite yet, I didnt realize that by fixing 0xC1F5 I could actually get to my system restore now.
Thank you for this video, you just saved my 2600 dollar computer!

@jesster21 - great! nice one! WTG.

I found an alternate method that works as well. Insert a Windows 7 Installation disc, boot into the first part of the installation and cancel the install. It fixes the corrupt $TfxLog.

@sickboy1977 - ah! Nice one dude. of course Windows 7 wasn't out when I did this vid- will annotate it accordingly. Thanks for letting us know.

help!
when i rebooted, it keeps getting stuck on the black screen with white text.
"!! 0xc0000034 !! 142/48696 000000000000000.cdf-ms
jkau94 2 years ago
@jkau94 - not sure I'm afraid. Others using this method have succeeded. Try googling the code 0xc0000034
GuyMagicFingers 2 years ago
i did, apparently had to go into command prompt and do some stuff
after like 5 hours of frustration it finally go to the login screen :)
right now its really slow booting up though.. i hope i havent damaged anything..
jkau94 2 years ago
Hey that actually worked out pretty fine! Thank you very much, and for the people on the blog where you found it too.
jkau94, have you changed back in your boot options to HDD as your first boot option? Otherwise it will be slow because it is trying to boot from the CD first. Well if this is the case, just press F2 at the startup and change it back.
Cheers!

I can't get the recovery disc to start. PC is asking for a command [DR-DOS] A:\> Help!!
gary028201 2 years ago
@gary028201 - A:\ is your floppy drive. You need to go into the BIOS (F2 on startup, normally) and change the BOOT priority to CD drive (usually D:\) first.

One may need to type "su" first if booting from other liveCDs to get full rights.

Hello all, I was doing so well up until the 1m 26s mark. I typed in the code as it was written and up pops :
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-01-26 22.18 sysrcd-1.3.5 -> ../../sr0
It looks like it's found the rescue disk. Could the code for windows be the sr0?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
meatballuk2008 2 years ago
@meatballuk2008 - no, it must come back with a code....sda1 or sda2 - go thru again, typing exactly what is written on the vid.
GuyMagicFingers 2 years ago
Guy, I have removed the offending $TxfLog file - however I can't boot w/ Startup Repair - I still have the offending boot loop. Any ideas?
scraptooth 2 years ago
@scraptooth - did you check (ls) that it had gone?
Are you trying to boot from the Vista DVDrom?
Do you have a recovery partition?
Most other people it has worked for, so I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas, sorry.

fatgoaly 2 years ago

GuyMagicFingers 2 years ago

aznnick30 2 years ago
@aznnick30 - is it the BSOD code mentioned here?
If so, you'll obviously need to burn the rescue cd on a friend's pc and boot up with it.
GuyMagicFingers 2 years ago
@GuyMagicFingers what does the burning do and yes the bsod code is mentioned there
aznnick30 2 years ago
@aznnick30 - You need to burn the rescue cd (See website at the side) as a bootable cd. just follow the video and description at the side.
