Turn the laptop off, press power button and before any messages appear press
Ctrl+F6 and keep pressing. Listen for a series of beeps. Keep pressing for
at least a minute. Release F6 but keep Ctrl pressed on. You should see a DOS
screen offering you to start Vista. Click. You will get a CMOS screen. I
think it is called: Windows Boot Management something.

You will have to do it possibly a few times. First you may try: start the
latest safe configuration. It can work and it will restore the system.

If it does not work, next time start in safe mode with Internet.

Click Start==>Accessories==>System Tools==>system Restore and try to restore
to any point that is there crated by the system.

All that failed, if you do not have a restore point, you will have to use a
system recovery disk that came with the manufacturer. If there is no
recovery disk, use the Vista System disk to install new OS. If you put it in
the HDD it will supposed to get started. Choose option "Repair old
installation or something.

Good luck.

P.S. That combination Ctrl+F6 is maker specific. Your system may have a
different code. try various combinations: Alt+F6, Esc+F6, also vary Function
keys all the way from F2 up to F12. It is not very difficult to find the
right one. Just remember which one you used. The key is to hear the distress
beeps from the systems chip.

Brand new ?? Take it back from where you purchased it. A brand new computer should not be doing this
