If Windows Vista is not starting on your pc, there are  many tools you can use to fix the problem. There is a nice tool  called WinRE (Windows Repair Environment… including Startup repair.

Windows Error Recovery starts and runs automatically upon boot, startup Repair can be launched as a manual recovery tool from a DVD, (Start WinRE by booting to Vista OS Backup Media DVD)
Startup Repair will try to repair computers that are unbootable because of the following reasons:

• Missing or damaged system and driver files
• Disk metadata corruption (MBR, partition table, and boot sector)
• File system metadata corruption
• Installation of problematic or incompatible drivers
• Installation of incompatible Windows service packs and patches
• Corrupt boot configuration data
• Bad memory and hard disk hardware (detection only)
When starting from a CD/DVD or the F8 (Advanced Boot Options – Repair your computer) you can manually launch Startup Repair and other recovery tools.
