vista beta 2 cant boot

i have a toshiba m40 laptop, can't boot vista public beta 2

can't get into the windows gui... in safe mode, it will get stuck at
crcdisk.sys

made a clean install with vista on the first partition, other partitions are
just doc files (not os related)

i think this computer uses a sata controller (googled it, and verified with
device manager)

Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04)

any way to get vista to boot? (i know its beta)

the intel drivers don't seem to install

I am getting the same results you are, only I'm running a Thinkpad X41
Tablet, and it has an apparently recognized IDE drive. But like you, I get
stopped in safe mode at crcdisk.sys.

I tried using boot options to enable boot logging, but no file seems to be
created.

At least on the Thinkpad, I'm starting to wonder if it is some of Lenovo's
value add software for rescue/recovery, or security, that might be the
problem. I don't know if the Toshiba ships with similar pieces.

If you make any progress, or find a way to further debug the problem, I'd
appreciate a reply. Thanks!

I am having the same problem unable to boot vista public beta 2.

Installation goes fine, until initial boot. In safe mode the last loaded
file is crcdisk.sys. Running a Toshiba Tecra A4 laptop with an IDE drive and
Intel 82801FBM Ultra ATA Storage Controller.

Any suggesstions on how to boot vista would be greatly appreciated.

Below is information I pulled from the MSDN website:

"The BIOS code was enabling MSI Hotplug support for a system board that
didn't support it and generating a FSB error in the process. Vista was
either trying to load a driver for the hotplug support, or it picked up on
the FSB error and generated the MCE BSOD.

After the BIOS team where I work reviewed their BIOS code, they found that
they were not making a check in the BIOS Initialization for the platform
support of MSI Hotplug before enabling it.

Now that I have a BIOS that is not enabling MSI Hotplug on my test system, I
have been able to install all builds of Vista newer than 5231, including the
FebCTP build 5308 and newer.

Hope this helps everyone, but it looks like you need to start looking
towards your motherboard vendors for BIOS updates that address VIsta issues."


I have a similar issue but mine is really wierd.

First Install and startup on Toshiba Tablet R15-S822 is good. All reboots
in Normal Mode results in BSOD. First Reboot to Safe Mode results in BSOD.
Second Reboot in Safe is Good. I've uninstalled several drivers yet to find
the culprit. Hence my search of the MSDN Site.

I'm running the most recent bios available from Toshiba.


I hate to say it, but I'm going back to XP SP2 until there is a resolution.

Same here. When trying to install Vista Beta 2 on my M40 Toshiba Satellite,
everyting goes nice until the last reboot. On Safe mode, it hangs on
crcdisk.sys.

Identical problem on a Toshiba m40. Any progress on this?

How much memory do you have? Have you checked with Toshiba's site to see if
you have the right BIOS?

I have 1 gigabyte of memory. I talked with Toshiba tech support and they
pointed me to the correct BIOS for my laptop. It was one of the custom
build options so it didn't fit nicely in their model naming scheme but
they were able to locate a compatible model with the same BIOS.
