    This morning my notebook refused to boot, hanging at the point where
    green bars go across a long rectangle with (C) Microsoft underneath it. I tried booting in safe mode and it hung at crcdisk.sys. Google found many descriptions of this problem but none of the suggested solutions have worked. I called Microsoft but the only solution they could suggest was a clean reinstall.

    Try F8 > Last Known Good Configuration, however I doubt that will help either. If Safe Mode also refuses to boot, then unfortunately a clean installation or a Windows repair install seems like the only option.

    EDIT : Vista repair options
