Re: windows vista restore not working/blue screen help/safe mode not working

I sincerely hope you have backed up your important files apart from the
ghost copy of your hard drive.
I believe this is a situation where you are going to have to reinstall Vista
which is likely to wipe out your document files, depending on how they are
stored. This seems to be a software issue but you could have experienced a
coincidental hardware failure.
If you are going to reinstall Vista you may want to format the
drive/partition first, your call.
The hard-drive back-up program I use allows me to selectively read and open
any file, not simply restore a cloned copy of the entire drive. If your
program allows you to do that you should be able to copy back your documents
and images once Vista is up and running. You will still have to reinstall
your individual programs.

I had similar problems Wednesday and yesterday (Thursday in my time zone).
I booted to safe mode with command prompt and ran "chkdsk C: /r" (without
the quotes and followed by an Enter key), and sfc as well; all seems better
now (fingers are crossed).

Type sfc /? and chkdsk /? to get help (I guess you could call it help).
