Before doing anything else, be sure find and write down your product key number somewhere safe.

If this is a OEM (ex: Dell, Gateway, etc....) store bought computer and not a home built computer, then they will usually have a system recovery partition on HDD that is used to do a factory restore of Vista with.

What is the brand and model number of your computer, and if it's laptop or desktop? We may be able to help find and post the instructions for how to for your computer.

No it is a generic computer bought on ebay.

Have you made any recovery disks?

He didn't tell me whether it was legit or not, I have made recovery disk and sometimes can boot from it but it solves the problem only temporarily. Whenever I install anything it again stops booting.
