Further to my reply above: there is no way for me to recover my original
Vista installation. Using the boot DVD: 'Startup Repair' does not fix
the problem; 'System Restore' finds no restore points; and 'Windows
Complete PC Restore' would wipe it anyway. Choosing 'Install' (rather
than 'Repair') would only permit me to do a Custom Install (Install a
clean copy) as 'Upgrade' is disabled (must be started from Windows).
So - to pick an example - there is no way for me to deinstall Abobe
Photoshop CS3 - I will need to convince Adobe that I have an additional
valid licence in addition to all my problems with Microsoft Vista.
As info - when CHKDSK ran and corrupted my Vista installation, the
message "Replacing invalid security id with default security id"
executed for every file number on the Vista partition.
This problem is so irritating that I need to address this to our
leading Computer Journals. Although it may have one of two possible
causes (in my opinion), I tend to believe it was when Vista accessed
another drive with a bootable Vista partition (and I tried to read some
data) that the basic corruption occured that kicked CHKDSK into action
(which started automatically during the next reboot and that was the
last I saw of my Vista installation).
If Microsoft reads these posts... is there a utility like CHKDSK that
could fix the security id on all files in the Vista partition so that
Vista boots (if only to deactivate my Adobe licence)? I would be much
obliged to receive such utility (if only to test it).
Kind regards - Andrew Bauer
