Vista only starts in safemode, normal start chrashes ? hi !
i got a problem with Vista, a normal start causes a crash (+memdump),
it only starts in safemode, any ideas on how to repair it ?
i have already ran the installation-disk several times.
what´s a little bit mysterious is the fact that last time i used that Vista-partition it worked normally.
i then copied all files to a new partition on another harddisk and i have since then used that partion instead.
i changed CPU 2 days ago, can that be the cause ?
the computer is otherwise working OK, i´m running Windows 7 on a another partition. | My System Specs |

sorry should have explained that a little better  Ideally from Vista, as im not sure it will show what i want to know if Win 7 has been booted, what im looking for is to see whether the Vista partition is marked as "Active" or "Boot" but this will depend on whether you have a 100MB system reserved partition, | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Memory 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Acer Al1980, Screen Resolution 1360*768 Keyboard Alba USB Mouse IT Works Wireless USB PSU 750W Cooler Master Case Cooler Master Haf X Cooling Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Hard Drives 500GB SATA WBC

well, looking at "Disk Management screen" in Windows 7,
the Vista partition is marked "Healthy, Active, Primary",
it´s partition #1 on HD #2, and has no "100MB system reserved partition".
i don´t want to shutdown Windows 7 now and switch to Vista, i have other important work to do, so i need it running... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell OS W7-Enterprise + WS-2008 (Converted to Workstation) CPU P4 2,4GHz (at 1,8GHz, "slow" RDRAM, only 400MHz FSB...)

what files did you copy? were they just pictures and documents and such? or OS files? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Memory 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Acer Al1980, Screen Resolution 1360*768 Keyboard Alba USB Mouse IT Works Wireless USB PSU 750W Cooler Master Case Cooler Master Haf X Cooling Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Hard Drives 500GB SATA WBC

p#1 on hd#1 is the boot partition, so the "old" Vista-p was boot-partition before i got a new hd, which is now hd#1.
i can start the "old"-Vista on p#1 hd#2 but as i said above, only in "safemode".
"what files did you copy? "
why, what has that to do with the problem ?
i copied EVERYTHING. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell OS W7-Enterprise + WS-2008 (Converted to Workstation) CPU P4 2,4GHz (at 1,8GHz, "slow" RDRAM, only 400MHz FSB...)
