Answer 3

you need to start up from the Vista Installation DVD - put this DVD in the laptop and try restarting. If it doesn't automatically boot from the dvd, you need to try again and just after startup, press the appropriate key to access the Boot Menu (it will say something on the bottom of the screen like "F9 for Boot Menu" but it will flash by very fast, if you can't find it try F9 or F12 on startup) when you get into the boot menu, select "boot from cd/dvd" or something similar. The installation DVD will give you options to do a system restore and other similar functions. one of these should solve your problem.
