After doing some reading I was able to boot the Vista DVD using a USB drive since my system doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. I got the same error, it couldn't save the file.<BR/>I then clicked next and got to the advanced screen where a command prompt is available. I started the command prompt and typed <BR/><BR/>"diskpart"<BR/><BR/>In diskpart I typed <BR/><BR/>"list volume"<BR/><BR/> to obtain a list of volumes on the computer, I saw my harddrive and the usb drive partitions.<BR/><BR/>I then typed <BR/><BR/>"select volume 0"<BR/><BR/> 0 being my Vista C: drive partition.<BR/><BR/>Then I typed <BR/><BR/>"active"<BR/>and to my surprise it then stated that the partition is now active. I tried running recovery again on it and it worked and I rebooted into Vista.<BR/>Hope this helps.Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376939680571820022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905735152719562127.post-5744205013222640262008-10-05T17:12:00.000-07:002008-10-05T17:12:00.000-07:00As I said in the last paragraph, I solved the prob...As I said in the last paragraph, I solved the problem by restoring Track 0 from my system backup made with Acronis True Image Home.Jim Beveridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446539325869013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905735152719562127.post-48963840097371026612008-10-04T16:33:00.000-07:002008-10-04T16:33:00.000-07:00so... how did you solve this problem...? did you g...so... how did you solve this problem...? did you go to service center to fix yours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905735152719562127.post-21549541476641795772008-01-25T20:40:00.000-08:002008-01-25T20:40:00.000-08:00Go to Google and search for Partition Table Repair...Go to Google and search for Partition Table Repair.
