Installed Vista on a separate primary HD. Vista does not start. Windows Boot Manager reports:' File: windows system32 winload.exe, Status:0x000000f, Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt'.

Vista General; Vista OS loader fails. Application is missing or corrupt'. From the Vista DVD I applied the System Recovery Option/Startup. Vista OS loader fails. A few days ago, my wife's computer, running Vista Home Premium started going right to Startup Repair when you turn it on. Need For Speed Rivals Tpb Torrent. After stating it could not.

I have a dualboot machine with Linux and Windows 7 Premium SP1 64Bit using GRUB boot loader. I hadn't started Windows a while and suddenly when I tried to load Windows, Windows started the recovery options and automaticly analyzed my PC. The Laptop rebooted several times but the issue persists. I looked into 'Details' in the end of Analysis and it said: Root cause found: Boot manager failed to find OS loader. I downloaded Windows 7 ultimate sp1 64bit burned it on DVD and searched google for the above problem. I found this: Output: The other two volumes are supposedly linux so it should have been succesful. However Windows still can't start because of signature enforcement: When I do F8 Winodws just redirects me again to this Error screen I booted from my Windows DVD again and shortly after searching my HDD for partitions, there came a message that some problem was detected and that I have to restart to fix it.

I didn't help and the message does not occur anymore. I think this post might be useful. But hasn't it actually? My understanding is that the winload.exe signature is 'too new' for the 'old' bootmgr (or the other way round). At least this is it. So I thought deactivating Windows Signature Enforcement might help. Would you aggree?

Btw in the meantime I've burned a Win7 PE disk, so I can play around with this. I repeated all steps but to no avail. Do you know any way how to fix this ( without reinstalling Windows)? I'm not a PC noob, I will follow evey advice you give me. PS: Sorry for the late response, I didn't see your post.

BTW thank you so much for your answer! That thread you quote applies to trying to boot one Windows OS with the bootmgr of an older different OS.

W7 booted from Vista, W8 booted from W7. Your problem is quite different.

That's W7 bootmgr failing to recognize it's own version of Winload, not Winload from a newer OS. Hard to say what the problem is, but since it's the first thing that bootmgr has to look for, if there's a general problem with the OS being corrupted in some way, Winload is normally the subject of any error message. Fix winload and it's quite likely to fail on the first driver it tries to load subsequently, and so on and so on. (I once spent a couple of weeks on and off trying to fix a broken Vista, error by error just as an exercise in stubbornness before finally reinstalling it. It was only used every few months just to update its fixes, so I didn't need it in a hurry) Try running chkdsk /r against your W7 partition.
