Windows Vista 64 bit crcdisk.sys

Hi all -
    Microsoft automatically downloaded some Vista upgrades to my T61, and now it won't boot.  Instead it goes into an infinite loop mode:  BSOD-->bootup options page-->BSOD-->bootup options page-etc.-etc.-etc..  Googling suggests that this is not an uncommon problem, with all sorts of laptop brands, and that the problem isn't with the HDD.  However, I didn't find anything specific to Lenovo laptops, so I thought I'd ask here.
    Attempts to boot in Safe mode stop as it's trying to load crcdisk.sys.  I've not installed any new hardware/software/drivers/etc., so I really think the downloaded 'upgrades' somehow mucked things up. 
    Booting with the WIndows Vista DVD & trying to repair any errors didn't work, but I was able to get to the System Restore page.  Is this my only option?  I've installed some software since my last complete system backup, and I'd prefer not to have to do the download/reinstall thing., but if this is the only way to get at the data I've created since my last backup (two weeks ago), well, that's what I'll do.  If it works... : )
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
Eric

This is something i found in another forum so all the credit to the original author if it will solve your poblem.
I just had this issue happen this morning and was able to at least get to safe mode. Here's what happened:
1.) This morning my Acer Aspire 5610Z was sitting there showing the green bar animation continuously. I hadn't manually updated anything, but have it set to auto-update at 3:00am.
2.) Safe mode didn't work, it kept getting stuck on crcdisk.sys.
3.) To fix it, I rebooting in Safe Mode. When it got stuck on crcdisk.sys, instead of powering down by holding power button for 4 secs, I pressed it once for a restart instead. The hard drive came back to life, and after some activity, it restarted.
4.) This time, following POST, I chose Safe Mode with Command Prompt, with the intention of renaming crcdisk.sys to see if Vista would restore it. As it turned out, it ended up continuing the boot and brought me to the update screen, saying that I was in "Stage 3 of 3" with some update, and was 10% complete!
5.) Apparently this was a mandatory Vista security upgrade that system consumed like normal, but something went haywire during the update process. Once I was back in Windows, I restarted the update and was able to successfully complete it, and my system is back to normal.
Could you give it a try and let us know if it works or not?

  • Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

    When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
    I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
    I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
    I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
    I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
    One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
    I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
    Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

  • Iphone 3Gs on Windows Vista 64 bit

    What programs are included with the iphone 3Gs for downloading photograph to a windows vista 64 bit machine? Is there an iphoto version for windows? How about video downloading?

    Guys/Gals - I was able to fix this. I don't know for all versions, but here's the system/setup I was having problems with:
    * iPhone 3G software version 3.1
    * iTunes latest two versions (current 9.0, also previous version before I tried upgrading)
    * Windows Vista 64-bit
    I've been able to connect my phone to iTunes and download pictures in Windows, but after a recent Windows Update, OR a recent iTunes upgrade, OR a recent Norton 360 update (I didn't know which was the killer) I could no longer see the iPhone in Windows OR iTunes. Nothing could. I couldn't transfer music, couldn't transfer photos.
    I did both a RESTORE on the iPhone and UPGRADED iTunes this week to version 9.0 and finally got a solid connection between iTunes and the iPhone. That is the first (current) fix.
    But still couldn't "see" it in Windows Vista Explorer.
    After reading and reading and reading, and finding no workable solution (I tried: shutting off User Control, shutting down the Windows and Norton Firewalls, tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and performed those steps in many configurations), I also tried resinstalling the drivers through Control Panel (but it kept finding some generic "Windows Camera Driver" or some such), looking on my computer for usbaapl.sys (not there), I started looking on the web for it (but I'm always nervous about downloading drivers unless from the specific vendor's site), I finally did a search for "usbaapl" - and FOUND a driver in c:\windows\system32\drivers\ called "usbaapl64.sys".
    On a fluke, I first created a COPY of the file, and renamed the copy "usbaapl.sys" (since that file did NOT exist on my machine previously).
    Voila. I can now see the phone in Windows Vista Explorer.
    Someone at Apple isn't talking to someone at Microsoft, I think. Microsoft Vista x64 (with all current updates) is still looking for usbaapl.sys - iTunes is now shipping with usbaapl64.sys.

  • After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

    I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes.  I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application.  A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours.  The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?"  I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install.  Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music?  I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\.  Any thoughts?

    It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

  • Windows vista 64 bit and ipod nano

    Hi, we are having problems getting our 3 new ipod nano generation 5 to work on our windows vista computer. Itunes won't recognize them have tried to uninstall itunes but get a message to verify we have sufficient access to that key, or contact support personnel, and then we click ok and it stops the uninstall does anyone know how to correct this problem or what we need to do to get the ipods to work on itunes with windows vista 64bit computer? I saw an answer for a 32bit computer but read that it is different for a 64bit computer. Thanks!

    I, too, am having the same problems. Very frustrating to have a nano 4 generation that needs only the latest iTunes software but a computer that requires 64 bit software.
    If you get an answer, let me know. I even paid to have music loaded on my nano ipod yesterday and because it was attached to my computer, when I booted up, it somehow went to checkdisk mode and cleaned all the music out! Am ready to throw it out and get a non-Mac ipod instead. But if you have THE answer, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks.

  • Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

    I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

    could not access network location %appdata%\
    It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
    Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
    What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
    If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

  • Unable to print from my window vista 32 bit laptop to HP deskjet ink advantage 1515

    I have window 32 bit vista system. I installed my new HP deskjet ink advantage 1515 , but I am not able to print. I tried install and uninstall many times, run HP Print and scan doctor. No problem reported in installation but failed to print.
    Pls help

    Hello @HarpreetS , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into print issues.  I would like to help.
    Do you recieve any sort of error messages?
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Deskjet 1510 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.

  • Windows repair installation Pavilions a6720y Windows Vista 64 bit

    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    I recently had a serious PC problem. I knew that I would have to hand my PC over to someone and selected a Local Technical Specialists (Geek Squad) who diagnosed it as a crashed main HD, installed a new Drive and reinstalled the OS from recovery disks provided by HP.
    I personally had to reinstall many programs and settings. I needed specialist assistance to reestablish my home network that did work before the crash with the same hardware but not after.
    My Main PC is a desktop:
    HP Pavillian,
    Model a6720y,
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit,
    6GB Physical Memory,
    connected to a DSL Modem via Ethernet connection.
    My second PC is a Dell Pavillion B130 Laptop, Windows XP
    DSL Modem provided by Verizon, is a WestTell modem.
    I have an External 1 TB HD from HP, a HP HD3000, Ser # TH1B32Y047
    The System Recovery was performed with discs that I received from HP. System Recovery, Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, HP505283-001, Build ID 91ANv6PrA1.
    I am contacting you because I believe that something went wrong with the reinstallation or there was more that should have been done after the initial Reinstall.
    Within hours of bringing the PC home, I discovered that Windows Media Player was not working. I contacted the local support organization. They advised that yes there was a problem with Windows Media Player and downloaded an alternate program for playing Videos, VLC.
    After installing several 3rd party program that were Video DVD maker Utilities, I started to have problems that did not exist before the reinstall. This is of course with the same hardware except for the new Internal HD.
    I contacted the local support because I was having serious problems reestablishing my at home local network. I was informed that there were some serious Vista problems.
    Can you comment on the above?
    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    My PC is out of warranty but I did purchase and renew that HP Care Pack Support Service. That may also have expired. My last renewal that I can find was Tran # CA03207588-0001.
    Your response to the above, especially your advice on a Windows Repair would be appreciated.

  • Vista crcdisk.sys error on Tecra A4

    When the beta version of Vista came out several people were having installation problems where start-up would stop on first reboot at 'crcdisk'sys'
    I've been following the MS forums as well as here but never found a solution.
    Has anyone successfully installed Vista Beta on a Tecra A4 yet? If so, what's the secret?
    Any help appreciated
    Salamat

    Thanks for replying and suggesting the link. I have been keeping my eyes on the MS forums since first installing
    Beta2 but not yet found the cause or solution in there. Most of the posts go back to June and July shortly after Beta 2 came out and since it went all quiet I assume people resigned themselves to not solving the problem. With the release of 5536 maybe the issue will raise itself there again.
    Thanks

  • Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Hi,
    My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
    1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
    Experience OR opinions welcome!

    ) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
    If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    Many people have done so. This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:
