One option that you didn't mention may help.
After starting the computer, tap the f8 key which should take you to an advanced menu of options. Here try the option 'Last known good configuration'.

I apologize in advance - this will be detailed so as to limit the
question of what I have tried so far...
I'm running Vista on a Sony Vaio purchased new in 9/08. I have never
had any problems until this morning. My husband used my pc this morning
to go to Tax Brain, and on his log on there was a Adobe Update ready to
download. When I went to log him off, I decided to download the update;
then the update stopped saying that there was a corrupt file on it. So I
logged off his side and signed into mine (btw, he has NO adminitrative
rights), I then tried to open my Windows Live Mail...it then prompted me
for a password, which it NEVER does because it's already saved. Then
another alert came up that a file in live mail was corrupt; I freaked
out and tried to access Norton (which is up to date) and it wouldn't let
me. Next thing I know a blue screen comes up and says that windows is to
be shut down to prevent damage; it suggested I restart the computer and
try to open in safe mode and determine what files may be at fault.
{Incidentally, yesterday Norton detected "Backdoor.Trojan" or something
of that nature; I looked up the detail report and it said that it was
blocked and fully removed from my system, and I was ablel to use the pc
until 9pm with no problem - after booting up this morning is when the
trouble began.} Ok, so I tried rebooting in each and every mode
available on that inital error screen. The rebooting goes down all the
drivers until it gets to crcdisk.sys...then it quits and gives me that
damn blue screen again that advises me to try rebooting in safe mode. I
cannot reboot at all.
Now, I have downloaded an iso file of Vista recovery to my thumb drive
using the tutorial on this site; and I have plugged it into the pc upon
startup...with same result as before. Nothing. I am not able to burn a
DVD because the old laptop I'm on right now only has a CD-R and a
DVD-Rom. I don't have any blank CD's here and my husband is at work;
we're pressed for cash also...so I'm pretty screwed all the way around.
To make matters worse, I have an assignment and my finals (I'm finishing
school at 31) due today, tomorrow and this weekend. I don't have a vista
recovery cd, none was provided when i bought my pc. And now i have
absolutely no idea what to do...I need help guys, please, PLEASE help
me.
Thanks soooo much.
