Vista will not boot, question on which dvd I need to do reinstall


My vista will not boot...into any mode. Safe mode, all other advanced
options modes do not work either. It just loads the progress bar and
then goes to a black screen with a mouse cursor. I have tried about a
thousand things and have given up hope on fixing it.

I recently upgraded from home basic to home premium. My question is, if
I want to do a full reinstall (IE erase everything) will having only the
upgrade disc work? I am in a foreign country and my parents can not find
anything buth the upgrade DVD. Will it work?

PS (I already have a recovery disc, and nothing on that fixes it
either, it cant find any system restore points.)
