Vista boot error [solved]

Ok, so I have diskeeper, and windows vista, I thought I’d do a boot time defragmentation and well wouldn’t you know, it caused vista to not be able to boot anymore giving me this error
“File: \Boot\CD
Status: 0xc0000001
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data”
so I booted into the vista disc, and tried to repair a couple times, didn’t work, tried the bootrec commands as instructed by technet or w/e microsoft’s support site, and nothing…
so I run a chkdsk on the drive, and it turns out most of my drive is corrupted I believe, as it finds a few hundred thousand “Orphan file segments” well, I started with a chkdsk /f which was a mistake because it now deleted about 10k maybe more of those orphan files… hopefully not enough to destroy my windows…
anyone know a way to solve this problem so I can save some files? or should I just bite the bullet, and try and let the chkdsk finish and hope for the best?
Answer #1
let chkdsk run
nothing else to lose now
if it fails and you need the data from the hdd get yourself a usb sata ide hdd adapter from ebay which will allow you to copy any data you need to another hdd
Answer #2
*sigh* well, there went 150gb worth of programs, games, custom settings, themes, wallpapers…
as well as my other HDD I didn’t realize got corrupted and there went every season of “House, prison break, fringe, lost, and heroes” again… *sigh*
don’t use diskeepers boot time defrag + vista lesson learned…

you’ve not lost anything m8
your files and progs should all be recoverable
Answer #4
I don’t use system restore, and the chkdsk basically formatted my drive… tried to recover partiton with hirens boot cd, multiple tools… nothing worked… formatted… re-installed…
moving on… but thanks…
