Problem with aswrvrt.sys (Won't boot)

[juanadie]

Thanks for the help I run frst and fix with that file, here comes the fixlog.
Unfortunately It could not boot windows normally, still the black windows.
 I run again the frst scan and here comes the file of frst.

This time I will fully uninstall Avast in case that is the culprit

Download Fixlist.txt to the same USB as FRST
Start FRST as before and press fix

Then try a reboot

It is now a little after 1:40am in the UK so essexboy will be in bed now. He should be back on-line later today.

OK it is not Avast or Norton that was causing the problem

Restart from the recovery CD and select command prompt
Type in the following command

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows

Once completed let me know if that cures it

[juanadie]

Unfortunately I could not run that command, I get this message:

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.

If I try to just run:
sfc /scannow , I get this message:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. REstart windows and run sfc again.

Could you reboot and try once more if it fails then :

Finally I could restore to two year old windows situation and It is working fine so far...

Thanks for your help Essexboy!!!!!

[essexboy]

I had a similar problem of system not booting up and when I start up in safe mode, then it stops at aswrvrt.sys. I have a windows vista machine and right now botting it up from USB is saying the disk failure is imminent. I had done a install of avast just before this hapenned. Please help.

[essexboy]

The warning of an imminent disc failure should be taken seriously

All the computer is telling you is that the last driver successfully loaded was aswrvrt.sys

[vibha]

I gets stuck on loading the aswrvrt.sys  and doesn't go any further. What are my options here?  I would like to at least be able to save my files on the drive. Avast anti virus caused it as that was the last thing I did on the laptop before it stopped booting up.

You have the recovery console on USB ?  If so then

 Restart from the recovery CD and select command prompt
Type in the following command

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
