You need to access the BIOS - press F1 or F2 (depending on the version)during the start of the desktop - and in there you must modify the boot order: put the cd first then the had disk second. Save the change, reboot, insert the Vista disk and reboot once more - the disk will be loaded.
A registry error or device driver is causing this. Attempt a boot to safemode by tapping f8 after the computer boot logo screen and before the windows logo screen.
if you can't boot to safemode then try the same key sequence but select "last known good configuration". If this does not work, then you will have to repair reinstall the operating system.
if you can get in safemode or last known config, make sure to run a spyware/virus check if you didnt' install any programs, devices or used a registry cleaner like CCleaner
No, actually would be quite easier if you booted the laptop in safemode. once in safemode, you will see a user name that ordinarily is not there. This user name is called "Admin" or "Administrator".
Click on Admin and go to control panel, user accounts, click on the one your daughter messed with, and select delete password. From there, you can leave it deleted or create new one yourself.
to boot to safemode, follow these steps:
1) restart laptop
2) repeatedly press F8 and windows utility screen will appear. From here, select safemode
**Don't be alarmed by the bunch of jibberish you will notice on screen as system boots up to safemode.
Once your mission has been accomplished, simply reboot once more and system will automatically boot normally.
try pressing F8 after the BIOS screen, this will lead you to windows advance options, from there choose safemode. Inside safemode, run system restore and choose a restore point/date from where the computer was working fine.
there are several things which might resolve your problem.
attempt to get into safe mode (with f 8 at boot), and check device manager for problem devices.
insert the vista disk and boot, and attempt to "repair" windows, the boot sector particularly. there is usually a "repair" utility on windows disks which allows you to fix problems without completely reinstalling windows.
your computer may be infected by a virus. if you can get into safe mode, try a virus scanner called "avast" if that doesnt work, try "malwarebytes" or "combofix". these can be found by doing a quick google searc, just make sure you download them from reputable sites. you may have to use a seperate comoputer to download the programs.
if you cannot get into safemode, try the same anti-virus software suites, from a different computer, with your hard drive installed in that system as a "secondary" drive. if this is a laptop hard drive, laptop to desktop hard drive adapters can be purchased for around $20.
