I did boot time defragmenting of hardware, with pagefile & mft defragmentation. Diskkeeper finnished it nicely as alwyas, but after that I can't start windows any more. If I try normal boot after windows is starting up - screen just go black & nothing happends. When I start in safe mode I can see that it stops right after it loads acpi.sys driver and then it just stands there without anything happening. Here is some info on acpi http://www.acpi.info/ - but this doesn't helps me. I have googled around but I haven't found the answer. What could be wrong?
Can I fix this somehow without reainstalling/repairing the windows?
