Don't know what repairs you tried to make, but did you try a Start-up
Repair? Did you try a System Restore?

Good deal! Glad it's working now.
I don't know for certain, but it was probably the external drive that was
causing the problem. It seems that a number of boot problems are caused by
them, including flash drives. My XP desktop won't boot with a USB pen drive
inserted, or if it will, it takes longer than I am willing to wait before
powering it down and starting over. My Vista notebook takes forever to boot
with my WD external USB/Firewire drive plugged in.
Now that it's back up, you should think about slipstreaming Vista and SP1.
See

or

Sliptream Vista SP2

for SP2 after/if you install it.
