Hi,
Were it me, I would use BartPE or similar with plugins for malware and boot
from disk and run scans on the system, and also load registry hives to check
the startup lines for unwanted entries. Basically work from outside Vista to
detect what's causing the failed boot. Otherwise, you'll likely need to
reload.
