    Vista will not boot

    I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find my exact problem. I can't get all the specs for the computer because I can't get it on at all.
    Its Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite P205. I reset it to factory settings several times and it still gave me trouble. The last time I tried to boot it up, its stuck on the windows loading screen. I tried booting it from the recovery disks and nothing. I've tried safe mode, it won't go beyond the loading screen to get to anything tho. I'm at a real loss. I got tired of fooling with it & bought myself a new laptop but I want to get this one up and running for my husband. Its an awesome computer & I just spent $200 replacing the screen. I'd hate to junk it. Any suggestions are welcome...

    Load Ubutu to your computer. If you can, you can also save your stuff. If you cant, its hardware problems.
