Windows does not start up.error code 0x0

your HDD is corrupted ... take out your HDD and check another HDD .... if the new HDD is working then your HDD is corrupted.

Use the Windows Install disc and load on top of previous version. Do not do a clean install, this will delete all previous settings and data.

Go into the Bios and disable the boot option to start via network.

Hello,
It sounds to me like the harddrive has errors on it. First, I would try completely reinstalling windows with the windows disk. If that does not solve the problem there are several pieces of software that are much stronger harddrive repair solutions than the built in Windows one. Try this one, it is free for 10 days. You will need another computer (friend's computer?) to download and burn this software onto a CD, then put the CD in your computer and boot to it by pressing any key when it asks you to.

0x0 isn't an error code it simply indicates the test that was run passed successfully. are you saying that it will not start after going through the recovery console? insert your cd and after booting to it, select repair windows installation. click on command prompt and type chkdsk c: -f

reinstall the windows

insert a WinXP Cd in the CD rom drive and restart and let it boot from the disk, let it install the OS again...format the HD (u will lose all data there but ur machine will come back)

boot your pc by using minixp and copy your data to usb flash and then format it and install new operating system
N.B get mini xp from Hiren 10 CD

Re: windows Vista will not start I had the same problem and came across this solution that worked for me as well: 18 Aug 2009 07:28PM I was getting a the same error codes and couldn't get Windows to boot up at all. I went to BIOS set up (restart your computer and hit F12 when the BIOS screen comes up), went to onboard devices and changed the SATA Operations from ACHSI (don't know how it got there) to the factory default setting ATA. Then I started up in "repair mode" (which was an option that was coming up when I tried to boot up before but never worked) - it went through a repair check and went to login screen.
Prior to finding this - I tried several things including start up from the Reinstallation disc, but nothing worked. I was ready to buy a new hard drive, but don't have to. Works fine!
Not sure what caused the problem to start with. It is an "Inspiron 1520"

Reinstalling windows is the best option.
