It should fix this problem on your PC. Startup Repair is also valuable in
fixing significantly broken Vista as well as problems booting into Windows.
1) Try Startup Repair:
How to Use Startup Repair: (Any of the links provide screen shots)
2) You can use the Vista DVD or F8 to the Options Menu to try the
bootrec.exe tool switches:

troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows Vista

Windows Vista no longer starts, and Startup Repair does not fix problem
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/934540
The commands I use are:
bootrec /Rebuild BCD
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /Fixboot

They can either be used from a command prompt reached from the Vista DVD or
you can F8 to the options menu and select Safe Mode with Command:

3) You can F8 to the Options menu and try 3 Safe Modes to reach a system
restore point, and you can also try Last Known Good Configuration. I
recommend trying all 3 Safe Modes except with VGA because often one works
when the others won't.
Good luck,

The Vista install disk is a DVD. It looks like you will need to take the PC to a repair shop. Sorry

Windows 7 will probably erase ALL your data. It better to pay someone to fix your computer.

When I repeatedly clicked on F8, nothing happened, it just went onto the black error page.
And I dont know what Vista DVD is. Do I have to buy the c.d?
