Ok, so my laptop suddenly had issues starting last night. It is reasonably old, but it has had no issues up until last night. It froze completely during a tab switch on the internet. I had to cold shut it down with the power button, and then I hit it again to start it back up. It gave the usual "You did not shut it down correctly" and what not, and I did the start normally choice. Instead of doing so, it then black screened and went to
windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt
status 0xc00000e9
I do not have a physical copy of the disc because when I bought it it came pre-loaded, and I lost the repair disc I made because I made it a long while ago and the laptop is fairly old. I have tried to find a file I am burn on to a disc and run, but no success. I have also tried making a repair disc of my computer I am on now, which runs Windows 7. I made the repair disc and put that into the drive of the laptop. It said it was laoding Windows files, but then it black screened with the mouse just kinda sitting there, with nothing else on the screen.
I am not sure what else I can do or try. If anybody here knows of a way I can remedy this situation, or of a good repair or file for Windows Vista that is good/simple to use for this situation, that would be appreciated.
