Vista - Vista Won't Boot. Computer Won't Boot from Disc

i installed vista, on my toshiba m40 laptop and everything went great. when
the installation finished it booted for the first time and froze, now my
computer won't boot into vista and it won't boot from any disc. i've tried
windows xp, vista, a hardware testing disc, knoppix. and i even tried booting
from my flash drive. everything i use goes straight back to vista bootloader.

the freezing bar is my toshiba problem. but i find it weird that it won't
boot from a disc anymore.

How is the boot priority in the BIOS set. Did it get reset? Can you get a
boot priority screen at boot?
