Hi, I am trying to fix a Windows 7 drive that won't boot. The installation and drive are healthy, however when turned on this message is displayed, "Interactive logon process initialization has failed. View Application Log for more details." There is no way around this. System Restore, Startup Repair, etc. do not work. Here is the only place I found where someone had success:
Basically I booted up with Knoppix & emailed the Application event log to myself.
Used another Vista machine to view the log & see the error.
Burnt a copy of the bad manifest to a CD & booted up my Vista DVD to the command prompt and overwrote the old file.
This sounds like a genius thing to do. However I need alot more detail lol. I booted with Knoppix but could not locate the event log and do not know how exactly to overwrite the bad .manifest file. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
