Vista doesn't start normally or from the DVD
Hi,

I got a new computer and it came with one big 500 gig hard drive with one partition. I don't like having just one partition so I used Gparted to resize the windows partition and make another one for data. When I restarted, Vista would not load and just hung at the loading screen with the moving bar. So I put in the Vista DVD and restarted to try to the fix windows from the DVD. I pressed enter to boot from the DVD and it went through one loading screen with a white bar moving across the screen, then it went to a loading screen that looked the exact same as the one where it hangs when starting normally. Once that disappears it just goes to a blank screen. The whole screen is black and nothing happens. I left it like that over night to see if anything would load, but nothing did. So now I can't get into windows either way and I don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: I have managed to fix the problem. I turned off all but one cpu core in the bios and fixed the dvd loading problem.
