Vista - Windows Vista Beta 2 doesn't start

I have upgraded Windows XP to Vista Beta 2 x86. All worked fine. But after 2
days, vista didn't want to start anymore. It hangs-up in the boot screen with
the grey loading bar, which is moving. I can wait hours but nothing happen,
although the bar is still moving.

The problem is that i can't boot from the DVD to install RC1 because it
hangs-up with a black screen. So i have to make Vista work again, but how?

I have an ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe and 1 gb ram in dualchannel. I have already
tried to remove one of the sticks, but that didn't change anything.

graphic: MSI FX 5900 XT
hdd: 160 gb samsung. 110 gb ntfs, 15 gb fat32, 35 gb linux

hope you can help me

Try pressing F8 during boot up to get the options and then Use Last
Known Good Configuration.
