Hello everyone.
My VIsta 32 can’t boot anymore on my laptop. It’ a family edition
I first encountered the aswvrt problem like this

But afterwards, I couldn’t boot at all.
I don’t have the cd but a recovery partition.
I followed Essexboy advises on the other topics about that problem : I used OTLPE to live boot, then FRST . Here is the logfile.
I wish someone could help me since I worked on it for about 1 week.
Thanks a lot.
Most helpers are sleeping now, so have a little patience.
Essexboy (or someone else) will try to help you soon.
And ofcourse a warm welcome to this webboard.
Thank you very much for your kind welcome. It has become so rare !
From the reatogo desktop select command prompt
Type in the following command and then enter
chkdsk c: /r
On completion boot normally
Thank you very much for your reply. I tried but it didn’t work.
Do you think there might be a link with these lines on the log?
C:\Windows\System32\winlogon.exe IS MISSING <==== ATTENTION!.

C:\Windows\System32\services.exe IS MISSING <==== ATTENTION!.

Looks to me a sfc /scannow is in order.
But please do nothing till Essexboy has responded.
Did chkdsk take long to run ?
As the C drive was not showing on FRST
Not long at all compared to what it should have been. Maybe between 5 and 10 mn. Probably 7 or so
From the recovery console command prompt could you type the following :
diskpart
A new window will open type in :
select disk 0
Then type in :
detail disk
What partitions is it showing
Every partition seems to be there

No sign of C though
Run this command :
chkdsk e: /r
and yet C appears in the “letter” column in the previous screenshot.
Chkdsk done
You’re right. Sorry. I got it. The main partition doesn’t show up . You’re right.
In case my first reply was not clear enough (sorry again) :
Chkdsk done 
From the recovery console now try repair my computer
Sorry but do you know how I should launch the recovery console from my Asus ? I think I’ve tried before but that it didn’t work
Do you have a Vista CD ?
No I don’t.
I tried to boot with F9 or other key supposed to launch it but it doesn’t work.
