I have a windows vista home premium package on my dell desktop. Since loading a windows update my computer will not start up properly. It gets to the screen with the option to either start windows repair or start windows normally. The first option can not repair the proble and the second option does not get to the windows start up screen before re booting.

I have tried doing a system restore but am only given one restore date that will not cover the hard drive and therefore fails. I have tried starting in safe mode but again it crashes and re starts.

Can any one help or suggest what the problem may be?

Thanks

I suggest trying to reinstall, or using a recovery cd. If you have neither of those, maybe you should give ubuntu a try. Although, if you're not tech savy and just want to stay with what you know, just get windows repaired or replaced. Good luck.
