Preamble How to open an elevated command prompt using Windows Vista: Read More: Click Windows start Type directly (in the search bar) one of these words: command prompt command prompt cmd The command prompt should be the first hit: press and hold (keep pressed) both the CTRL and SHIFT Keys, press enter, then release the Keys Otherwise right-click the command prompt and click run as an administrator Click yes to the UAC window that could appear. Left-click on Start, type directly msconfig, press enter. Is the radio button on normal startup? Advanced disk cleanup with cleanmgr: Open an elevated command prompt Type cleanmgr /sageset:1 and press enter. Select all the options, or leave unticked the ones you prefer. Type cleanmgr /sagerun:1 and press enter Let it work until it finishes. Defragment your system drive (using windows default defragmenter). Steps: Open an elevated command prompt Type defrag c: -v -w and press enter Wait until it finishes Check you system partition, then post the result here. Steps: Open an elevated command prompt. Type chkdsk c: /b and press enter. You'll get: The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) Click to expand... Type Y and press enter. Then restart/reboot and wait until it finishes this check. To find chkdsk result: Open an elevated command prompt Copy/paste this command (it works in Win10, but it maybe won't work in WinVista) and press enter: Code: wevtutil qe application /c:1 /rd:true /f:text /q:"*[System[Provider[(@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Wininit')]]]" > "%userprofile%\desktop\ChkDskLOG.txt" & notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\ChkDskLOG.txt" It should create chkdsklog.txt on your desktop and open it: paste its content here. If the command won't work, type eventvwr, press enter, in the event viewer window double-left-click Windows Logs to expand it, left-click Application, double-left-click the information event with source wininit, copy its content and post it here.

Open an elevated command prompt and then run these commands: powershell Get-Service |select -property name,starttype,status,displayname | out-file $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\ServicesList.txt Click to expand... You should find ServicesList.txt on your desktop: upload it here. It's about 50-60KB, zipped is about 8-10kb.

I have already performed all of those exoteric trouble shooting tasks before I posted my thread, along with trying to populate the volume in the device manager. This problem needs a deeper investigation into this matter on a high tech level. Thanks for your input and concern. If you got some more suggestions I will be glad to receive them. I wonder who will come up with the unseen solution?
