Vista Blue Screen

Clarifications

You should try testing all of your hardware before proceeding any further with something like the Ultimate Boot CD available from here

The correct way to test your HDD is with the Drive Makers testing Utility and then if it fails the first test remove the Drive from that computer fit it to another suitable computer and test again.

If the Hardware passes all of the tests you can try to Rebuild the Vista Install by following the directions here to do a Repair Install following the directions here with your Recovery Disc not the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
