Hello

Reboot the computer and press F8 a few times before the Vista boot screen with the progress bar appears. You should see Advanced Recovery Options. Choose Startup Repair from the list if present. If prompted to use System Restore, do so. If Startup Repair isn't present, boot from your Vista CD and choose Startup Repair.

System Restore won't cause you to lose any files, but you should backup if possible before just in case.
