Unable to boot into vista

[smoosh]

My vista has been working fine until yesterday there was an update that installed my computer auto installed it and restarted after this it seemed to work ok.  When I tried to boot computer up now it goes past the bios page then blue screen shows for 2 secs and restarts.  I have tried a repair and did not work I tried to go into safe mode but it also has the same blue screen I have recovery switched off so cant use this either! any ideas to how to get this solved I am able to slave the drive and access it this way?

Do you have your installer disk? You can do a repair of Vista from there.

I have tried a repair

What kind of repair was it?
What does BSOD say?

The bscreen just flashes on the screen then restarts and goes in a loop I have seen this happen on Dell GX755 when going from windows xp sp2 to sp3.  A repair fixes this though.  When I try running the repair it says it cant.  Is there another way to repair with vista?  Is there a way I can get the error message when I have the hard drive slaved up?

I think Automatic Restart is enabled on your machine. May we know what kind of repair have you done with it? Is it a repair installation?

hi the repair I did was with the vista disk and then there was the repair this was the only one I could see unless like xp when you go into the install it also give a repair?

This over the top install should fix the issue.

Just an update on this.  I did what you said to try and it still had the same issue.  I create a BartPE cd and managed to access the computer and removed the windows update that was installed I forgot to take note of this but this cleared the issue windows vista ultimate backup and working thanks for your help
