Hi,

I would like to assist you regarding this issue.

You must be having Vista installation disk with you.

Please follow the suggested steps to fix this problem

Insert Vista installation disc & boot your computer using it

Follow the suggested steps.

Click Repair my computer.

A window should come up saying Windows found problems with your computer's startup options. Do you want to apply repair and restart your computer?

Click Repair and restart.

This time Windows should start normally.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Nilesh
