did you upgrade to vista and then computer won't boot?.
your computer may have not met the hardware requirements which lead to this result.

I would try to save the files by taking the hd out and slave/enclosure install it another machine in order to save the files you need to keep, an alternative solution is to do the same with a usb hd and a live knopixx cd.

once you have saved your files out of the current hd, I would try to fresh install of the operating system assuming that you do have hardware to support the installation.

some computer may not provide a boot or recovery cd but a hidden partition to restore your original installation from or some times even repair the installation. find out on your computer manufacturer's website the recovery methods or a way to purchase recovery cd's (if no hidden partition).
if you do have a hidden partition, your computer manufacturer should provide a manual online to access that partition at startup.

good luck!

check your startup list to see that the hard drive is in hte list of boot drives and that it is on the top of the list

Thanks!

Hi, a Pc wont boot up beacuse of certain reasons i the Ram are bad or seated badly so pls look on them .
2, your harddisk is corrupted operating system cant start .
Now get operating system cd then try booting with it .

Try to put an operating system boot disk in your drive then turn on laptop.
When the screen says press any key to boot from cd/dvd press a key.If it is vista when you do boot from cd it will give the option in the lower right corner to repair-click on this-select repair startup option.if that fails try a re-install of your op sys.

Try going into safe mode by hitting F8 upon startup. If it lets you get into safe mode then choose "Last Known Good Configuration" on the menu. If that does not work then let me know, there are a couple of other choices.

To repair your computer using Startup Repair follow these steps:

1. Boot into Vista installation DVD
2. Choose your language settings and click Next
3. Click Repair your computer
4. Choose your operating system and click Next. This should bring up System Recovery Options.
5. Click on Startup Repair

Startup Repair should now start diagnosing your system to identify the root cause of the failure. Once it has identified the root cause, it would automatically start repairing your computer. If you are curious to know what Startup Repair did, you can click on the details link and see which tests Startup Repair ran to diagnose the problem.
After Startup Repair has finished the repairs, click Finish to reboot your computer.
Your computer should now be able to boot normally into Vista!!
Note -- If your computer cannot boot into Vista even after repairs, then go back to System Recovery Options and run System Restore.
That's it! This is how you use Startup Repair for most unbootable situations.

try removing the memory card and then boot the piece.

you can reinstall os with ur xp.
with xp disk in drive at startup do you get option to boot from cd.
if not go into bios at startup and enable cd boot in boot options as first;save and exit;restart.
I assume you know how to install windows(xp)
