Can you see the hdd in bios?
If you can then I would boot off the vista dvd and choose the repair option.

Either hard drive failure or corrupt windows partition...

Either way needs a reformat either via CD or recovery partition.

UBCD4Win would be a better option but better still for this type of problem is the "Falcon4" release as this includes MS DaRT 5&6.
