Vista startup continually fails

Out of the blue I've begun experiencing a severe problem w/ starting up my laptop...

Once I power it up, it loads for a moment, reaches black screen, and then immediately shuts down out of nowhere. Subsequent reboots lead me to the Startup Repair tool, which searches for a problem but then concludes that it "cannot be automatically repaired".

I've tried booting in Safe Mode, same problem. I've also attempted to recover the "Last Known Good Configuration" but that hasn't given me any success either.

After the Startup repair tool fails to repair the problem I can view the details of the problem--it provides me with a list that is, to me at least, completely incomprehensible...

Problem Signature:
Problem Event Name: Startup Repair V2
Problem Signature 01: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386
Problem Signature 03: 6
Problem Signature 04: 917517
Problem Signature 05: CorruptVolume
Problem Signature 06: BadPatch
Problem Signature 07: 0
Problem Signature 08: 3
Problem Signature 09: WrpRepair
Problem Signature 10: 10
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

And that's it. Can anyone help me shed some light on this situation? I know "CorruptVolume" and "BadPatch" don't look good to me, but I'm still holding out hope.

Thanks for your help!

Did you make a copy of your Recovery Partition? So that you can use the Vista DVD to try and recover the OS at all?

Well if you can get into Safe Mode try and recover from there. If not then you only option will be to use a Knippox or other Live CD to back up your Data and format and install.

Okay this is a double posted thread. CG you will have to combine them.

But it doesnt sound like the HDD failed. I see a courrupt registry. Which can be recovery possibly with the Vista DVD. If you have Restore points on that is. Or even a backup made. Either way the HDD isnt failed if you can see these errors. Typical Help Desk support. Doesnt know jack.

It could have been a application install that corrupted teh Registry. McAffe or Norton have done this before. espically with their updates and since they are only trial software that come with PC's it could have been either of htem.

Well with Norton and McAfee making such a stink about not having Registry and Kernel access this is what happens. I have not seen that many of these. Maybe 2 out of all the systems i have worked on so far with Vista. But now that those 2 have Kernel access they haev destroyed it. Hence the corrupt registry. Their trial software when it expires can really cause damage.
