It's hard to tell by what you're writing. Give the computer some time, and
if the problem persists boot from the Vista installation disk and do a
system repair.

RE: vista boot problem

I have had this problem with Vista (and XP also) and both times it was a
motherboard HDD cable connection issue. I guess the gremlins wiggle those
loose too at times. Before doing anything drastic, check your cable
connections. I have also seen a similar problem on another computer with a
loose memory module. It can't hurt anything to check this before trying
something else.
