i'v always had good luck on here with fixing many problems with my computers and general questions about them. here is one i have how to make a bootdisk for vista and how to run the vista chkdsk on that. because i just have important files that don't want to get rid off. please let me know thanks

If you don’t have a Vista DVD you can download and create a Recovery Disk (32-bit x86 or 64-bit x64) here http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windo... After downloading the image to your hard disk, create a CD in ISO format (a DVD is not necessary as the 32-bit version is 120MB and the 64-bit version is 148MB). It works in the same way as the Vista DVD, i.e. boot from the disk, choose ‘Press any key to boot from CD/DVD’ and Vista will start to load the Windows files. Select your language, time, currency and keyboard then click ‘Repair’ in the bottom left corner. Within the repair option there are five choices: Startup Repair, System Restore, Backup Restore, Memory Test and Command Prompt.

by the way thank you and nice new site

i was just working on my comp and won't work with either boot cds on one i get an error message and the x64 wont start i know how to make iso files work but the info on the cd ain't working i guess it says media disconnected after windows tryis to upload that info

Sorry but there is nothing I can add as the CD behaves perfectly for me.

Notice his first sentence. Do you have a Vista DVD? If so you use that to boot an unbootable system. From there you can perform almost any repair. You can use just about anyone's DVD not just your computers DVD. You have to set or use boot option to boot to CD/DVD drive. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

i will try to make a boot program work with vista that i found and need to know how to boot from a flash drive under bios setup the option isn't given?????
