hello,

I've got a computer with widows 8. later I installed windows vista too. now, I want to remove vista, so I changed the boot drive to windows 8 with easyBCD, but now windows 8 won't boot. I get the following message:

Windows Boot Manager
A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is singed incorrectly or damaged, or might be malicious software from a unknown source.
If you have a windows installation disk, insert the disc and restart your computer. Click “Repair your computer,” and then choose a recovery tool.
Otherwise, to start windows so you can investigate further, press the ENTER key to display the boot menu, press F8 for Advanced Boot Options., and select Last Known Good. If you understand why the digital signature cannot be verified and want to start Windows without this file, temporarily disable driver signature enforcement.
File: \Windows\system32\winlad.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
ENTER=Continue ESC=Exit


When I power on my laptop, I see the vista dual-boot screen.

Since the normal file to be listed in a message like the one you show should be winload.exe not winlad.exe, I would suggest you run some type of bootable anti-virus.

Yes I know, I typed that wrong... it is winload.exe.

I think i'm going tot buy a SSD, so I have to install Windows 8 again.

Easier just to replace Vista bootmgr with 8 bootmgr.

Boot up something and copy it from win 8 partition ( It is in Windows\Boot\PCAT ) onto wherever the current bootmgr is ..

Perhaps the 8 dvd repair options will do it all for you.

LOl.

If you haven't done this kind of thing of thing before - it might seem odd.

Using a boot disc with a file manager on it will help a lot.
