Error Loading Operating System

I was working on my thesis last night when my computer crashed. Upon rebooting, I was hit with a black screen and the words, "Error loading operating system".

I had plopped in my Windows Vista 64 bit Recovery CD and it booted up right up to the part of the loading screen and then it went black.

I'm just stuck there now.

Was there any indication why the system crashed?

Can you get to safe mode?

There weren't, no upcoming system updates, or reboots. I was typing mid paragraph and it just shut off suddenly.

After my laptop starts off I get a black screen with a cursor and about 30 seconds to a minute later I get the message.

You didn't answer my question about safe mode. I have a feeling it's a hard drive problem but won't go there just yet.
