Windows wont start and is asks for the installation disc to fix vista however, my PC did not come with an installation disc, just recovery options (which no longer appear). I've run windows start up repair and get the following message:

What brand is your computer? I'll see if I can find and post back instructions on how to do so from your computer manufacturer's website. Perhaps you could do a factory restore from your OEM recovery partition to reinstall Vista with.
I downloaded a recovery disc and ran that. From that I did a system restire which appears to have solved the problem. I'll look at it this afternoon and post back it I have any problems.
