Mods, please leave this here for a couple of hours as I need this sorting asap.

Right, when switching on the pc it brings up a "windows is loading the files screen then I have to select a lanuage then it brings up " the tech guys screen ". I then have options to tick, they are

Start microsoft windows repair environent
Reinstall windows
Advanced options
Exit and restart computer.

I've tried them all but the reinstall windows as i've missplaced my copy of vista.

When in the windows repair environent I've tried all the options, even the system restore to the furthest date possible

So my question is what the hell has happened and what can can I do to make it work!!!

Cheers guys!
