Hmm, Vista doesn't have a "recovery console" per se.  What exactly is your
friend seeing that says there's no errors?

 

The standard Vista recovery menu has these and possible other choices:

  Startup Repair
  System Restore
  Windows Complete PC Restore
  Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
  Command Prompt

 

So your friend would have had to choose something before being told that it
"cannot detect any errors."   If your friend sees something wildly different
from the above menu, then it's vendor-specific and he needs to get help from
that vendor (or reinstall Vista from a recovery DVD).

Hi All,
       Trying to bail out a friend who probably got some virus on his vista
laptop.
the system will not boot to a login no matter what options i try at boot.
safe mode,LKG,Debug,etc..... the thing just comes right up to the recovery
console and that says it cannot detect any errors.
but yet it keeps showing up every time. any help would be great!

Thanx!
