Fixed Winload.exe problem in Vista B2. What about UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME?

[bradsm87]

Hi,

Just in case you all didn't know, if you get an error that it can't read Winload.exe, you need to do the following from the command line of the vista boot cd:

C:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device boot
bcdedit /set {default} device boot
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice boot

This will tell it to boot from the partition that it is on rather than looking for C: which it doesn't do properly.

Now how the hell can we get past the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error? Somebody help please!

I tried changing those settings. But now when vista boots I get a somewhat "blue" screen and then it keeps rebooting itself.

the blue screen disappears too quickly, so I get no time to read it.

to stop you're computer restarting when the blue screen error appears you have to go in the menu where you find the safe mode etc. and then choose disable restarting....
