RE: PC wont start Windows Vista
Have you force restarted?
Once there was an energy outage while I was reading some stuff, and when the energy came back, I had that very same problem. Turned up the energy outage messed up with Vista's files, and Vista would only show the loading part, no orb, even in safe mode.
The majority of files were recovered using my spare Ubuntu LiveCD I've got here =P, and then I just bought a new HD as the old one wasn't enough for that time...
Why don't you try to boot off the CD, as vaccination suggested? If it works, your Vista installation was messed up, if it doesn't, it's a hardware failure, like faulty HD or RAM.
