    computer won't boot up

    computer Hewlit Packard, Athlo 64 processor 4000+
    O/S Vista premium edition.
    This is a friends computer afer installing sevice pack 1 the computer won't boot up in any mode.
    Ive tried running system restore but the only restore point is when she installed service pack 1 and it won't restore
    As the O/S was pre installed she doesn't have a disc with the O/S on it.
    Ive downloaded Vista recovery disc and run start up repair but it fails to do anything.
    Thanks for any help jhad

    will it boot into safe mode? (press the f8 key several times just after the initial boot screen to bring up the safe mode menu)
