Used Vista Glary Utilities to Defrag 7 Reg - Now BSOD
I was cleaning up my computer and did several things that may be causing this error. Heres all the things I did:
1. Updated Graphics Drivers
2. Uninstalled several basic programs and games
4. I used Windows Disk Management to Shrink and extend a partition. I also was fooling around and set partition 2 as the active partition when there is no OS on partition 2. Yes I know bad idea.
3. Used Glary Utitlities to Defrag Registry. Problem is I think I used the version for vista.
- Restarted
So now when the computer stats the windows loading comes up and the second I see the mouse I get BSOD.
I did some investigating and changed the active partition back to partition 1. Still didn't fix it. I'm using an Emergency Boot CD and some of the programs on it can't even see either partition. Could just be cause it's old software though. I used the 7 startup disk to repair and it did repair and add a new entry into the MBR. It said there was no OS specified. That didn't work. Heres a post from SIW2 I found that I think is very relevant.
"I use the Glary registry Defrag. module on Vista, but not on 7.
This is because the Vista partition is the System partition as well as the Vista Boot partition.
However, the 7 Boot partition is obviously different from the System partition. I do not recommend doing a registry defrag across drives/partitions.
You may like to check in Disk Management to see which is the System partition. Confusingly, this contains the Boot files, bootmgr. and BCD - this is the partition thru. which all your installed Windows operating systems will be booted." - From SIW2
Any ideas on what happened and how to repair what went wrong?
Thank you very much
