Re: vista failure to start

You're experiencing a blue screen of death. What you could do is determine the actual error code you're receiving. While booting up your computer try pressing (and holding) F8 which will bring you to a menu. Select Safe mode and check first if you can boot from there.

If successful you can access the event viewer which contains the error code. To do that, click on the start orb then type event viewer in the search box then press enter. I'm not quite sure but I think that that there should be a tree (+) beside the word critical. Click that and take note of the error code/s and post back here.
