    Nobody knows the slightest thing about what type of computer you have.

    Please fill out your system specifications. We need to know what you have.

    Unless you made a new partition to Dual Boot Win7 with Vista then it has overwritten Vista and you would need your Vista Recovery Disks or a Vista installation DVD to reinstall. You can try booting into the Vista Recovery partition if it's still there, but first let's try troubleshooting your Win7 install to make it work.

    Please reboot with the Installation DVD and follow these steps: Clean Install Windows 7

    Tell us exactly where it fails and any verbatim error message or describe what happens.
