Vista hangs on startup crcdisk.sys

Recommended Posts. Posted December 18, Thanks, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options How much did you wait? I've waited up to an hour. Olemus Posted December 18, Try drivercleanerpro. A Posted December 18, NateB1 Posted December 18, Problem just started out of nowhere. I didn't install any OS updates, drives, or software. Yes, I do need the device, because without it I can't use wireless.

Posted December 19, I guess I will purchase a new internal wireless card. Thanks for all your suggestions. Impact Posted December 19, That's really odd. Something must have failed within the wireless card physically. Posted January 4, Any other suggestions?

Aaron Veteran Posted January 4, Posted April 9, Why screw up my whole day! View solution in original post. Keep in mind that Sunday's can be kind of slow around here Was the power light on the server blue or amber? If amber, it will have shown an entry in the Hardware Log, accessible by OpenManage Server Administrator as the does not have an LCD panel that displays error messages.

My guess is that there was some other issue that may have been temporarily or permanently fixed while jostling around in the machine reseating the fan. It was a long two days with a boss climbing up "you know where" as this machine had the only deployed copy of some new web based software.

The machine went down early Saturday morning 3am and backup was to run right at that time and I didn't get it back online until pm tonight. Eastern Time. Scheduled roll out for tomorrow morning, big money involved apparently. I have my doubts as well as to the fan being the source of my problem.

I was correct in assuming that the machine had rebooted due to a windows update, 3 of them in fact. I don't think that they were the cause of the problem either as the machine finished installing them when it successfully rebooted. I, of course, checked every log I could find and no answers there.

I'll find out what the next driver to be loaded after crcdisk. Dont know what to do after that though! I had this exact problem. Safe mode stopped booting at crcdisk. Got a message that it could not run until reboot, so i clicked Y for reboot.

On restart chkdsk ran and corrected the problem. Login screen appeared, I logged in and the Windows desktop loaded. I pressed F2 and went to setup. On command prompt I typed "explorer" to simply start windows in safe, messed around a little, turned off and on and as yet have had no problems.

Sorry to bump this thread, I am experiencing sim problem, however bootup is more sporadic, it varies. Running a Vista 32bit Home Premium, 3. Anyway the only difference I am having is that the computers boot will vary in success, but the most typical has been not even getting to the bios atleast not visibly or audibly I had success though by taking the power cord from the wall and ensuring there was no residual power in the system.

Turning it back on with a typical roar of the fan, that sort of woke up the bios Then often would come the crcdisk. Trying the recovery disc that NEC forced me to make wasn't real fun it seemed to want to format the HDD and not much else. The other thing that is interesting is that the WinRe which was showing as a D drive for the last 6 months since I made the disc has now disappeared from Explorer System restore doesn't appear to have helped and it only went back like a week any how.

One thing the system health report did mention was the disk q length was getting up there but it does not report that now For instance, the fact that BIOS sometimes doesn't even make it atleast graphically , would that not indicate a hardware problem Also have been having this same problem using Vista.

None of the above mentioned options worked for me. What does work; powering down the computer disconnect power, drain remaining power via on-button. After doing that the computer will boot everytime. Though it isn't perfect having to reach around the computer everytime. Hope a new hdd drive will fix this. Sorry for the above proposed as answer submission I pressed the wrong button in my eagerness to post my fix.

After researching this problem and not really having much luck trying pretty much everything Ive seen posted I had one last shot and this is what I did. SYS level on a "safe" boot, and it would lock up at the loading bars on a normal boot. The computer locked up while accessing a Wikipedia page screen had a white overlay and the rotating loading circle in Mozilla stayed on. I did a hard shut down, which it didn't seem to like, as on reboot, it locked at the loading bars.

I also tried changing the drive configuration set to RAID but that did not help it was mentioned in another posting. I removed the drive from the case quick release mount made this easy. The other computer recognized the drive, so I copied all my work files to that computer as a safety measure.

Anyway, once it was all done, is there a log file for that somewhere and how do I find it? Of course, I realize that not every one has dual identical computers, one running XP and one running VISTA, but maybe if you can borrow a friend's machine I am not sure if the hard drive is failing or what.

But it did it again, this time hanging on an Intel Boot firmware program. A disk check has been scheduled. Windows will now check the disk. The file reference 0xd of index entry cookies.

The second incident is showing bad sectors. I think also I will buy a new hard drive, load it with XP and use that as my boot drive and run the old drive as a secondary storage drive.

Once again, I was able to offload my files onto the XP machine, so no data was lost. On the advice of some sites, I ran chkdsk three more times, until it was "clean". I will now try to reinstall the drive. If it still doesn't work, well, off to the computer store to buy a new hard drive There seems to be some bad sectors 4 KB which is new since the last failure.

No file problems anymore, though. Again, to run chkdsk, I had to take the drive out and install it as a secondary drive on another machine.

I can read and write data to it, but for some reason, it just won't boot properly! Windows has checked the file system and found no problems. Cautiously optimistic that it worked. It took about 20 minutes to boot. During the prolonged boot, in contrast, the disc light goes on and off and you can hear the voice coil moving the drive heads.

I was able to get the computer to work by removing the drive, runing chkdsk on an XP machine that I connected to the drive and then re-installing. But it just got flakier and flakier. Oh brave new world. And I met the guy who worked on those original Seagates, too. That was "back in the day" for sure. I finally unplugged it after downloaded all the data from it and now everything is OK.

Honestly, I'm not a technician, but I'd like to share my experience. I have been using Vista for almost 3 years until I stuck to this crcdisk. And I found that this is already an old issue. As having the recovery partition or u can get recovery disc by download it , I have the system to repair its startup problem, but it failed to fix the problem.

I only have an empty restore point, because I clean it a day before.. Well, I check all of them and no problem at all. I found no virus, no malware, no corrupted file, no device problem. Eventhough i disabled the SATA, the problem still occured. Honestly, I don't want to delete anything right now. This thread is locked.

I have the same question 2. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. You don't want to try and install Vista on a damaged hard drive where you want to retrieve data! Boot with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the hard drive mftr. If the test won't run or the test shows the drive failed any physical tests, your drive needs to be replaced.
