Windows Vista fails to start
After changing my mobo and cpu I reinstalled Vista(Ultimate) and everything works fine until I reboot and get the following message on a black and white screen:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. TO fix the problem: Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next” Click “Repair your computer” If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. File: \windows\system32\Drivers\ksecdd.sys Status: 0xc0000221 Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt. Any ideas as to how to fix this issue? |

You did a fresh install of vista after you moved the hard drive to the new board?
Can you boot into safe mode?

What type of installation disc are you using?
Is it a Genuine WINDOWS installation disc or an OEM reinstallation disc?

Yes I did a fresh install of Vista after replacing the mobo. I see the option to boot in safe mode but I clicked on Last Known Good Configuration and I got a BSOD

Ok Windows boots up in Safe Mode. I noticed that I appear to have two Vista installed as I'm given the following option:
Choose an OS to start, or press Tab to select a tool |

Moderator's Comment:
A Windows installation disc is not legally available for download. As such, we cannot offer support for it, as per forum rule #9: http://www.pcmech.com/forum/rules.php
