Vista Wont boot after installing Fedora
Need help please!! Cant boot vista. I WILL PAY MONEY VIA PAYPAL TO WHOEVER FIXES IT!
About 6 months ago I installed Fedora. 1 week later Vista stopped working. I reinstalled vista using the recovery partition. I though it was a coincidence that vista stopped working after i installed fedora. Maybe it wasent...

I recently intsalled fedora again. Vista Ultimate stopped working about 1 week later. It got stuck on the loading screen - i left it for an hour and it still wasnt loaded. So I started using Windows Vista Extreme ( A Modded version of windows vista ultimate. I know that this dident cause the problem)

Another few days later, this stopped working. I tryed to resore vista with the recovery disk but it wont boot from the cd.

I tryed using the windows vista extreme disk (which is basicly a retail vesion) to install it again but it comes up with a black screen with my cursor. I am able to move my cursor but it just wont load!

So now i am stuck with fedora which is kind of useless to me because i cant install anything anymore because of an error.

This is the family computer and i am 13 years old which means i will get in alot of trouble if i cant fix it again. The people in my family only have basic computer knowlige so it is left to me.

Since i am so young you have to talk to me in a way i can understand.

Please help!! Pleeez?

Mitch

Arrow Regarding Problem with Fedora
This has been a continuous problem. I had this issue with Windows XP.
Can you boot into Fedora? You said that you can't do anything with Fedora. So I have an option that would allow you to get Vista back, if you are ready to sacrifise Fedora and the data included in the Vista.
For that you must have a Windows 2000 CD.It will reboot your system to text mood which allows you to install Windows 2000. But you must just come upto a level which completes a Format your hard drive with NTFS file system. When you come to that level eject your CD before installation begins.
Then insert Vista CD and reboot. Now you must be able to do a complete installation.
