[lathief]

how do I start up windows vista home premium edition as it fails to boot

Is the hard disk still indentified /detected in BIOS?

you can try booting from DVD, and attempting a repair install; of course, if the hard disk has genuine issues beyond glitches, this might not work...

Do you have the correct boot order set up in the BIOS?
