Question : Boot Repair Options in Vista Safe Mode

Hello,

A client has a Vista computer with a booting issue.  When booting normally, a message pops up saying something about how Windows failed to start, a recent hardware or software change may have caused the issue. Startup repair can help diagnose the problem... etc.  Unfortunately the Startup repair option just hangs.

However, using F8 I was able to boot successfully into safe mode.  Unfortunately we don't have a Vista Installation (recovery) disc to run the recovery process.  What options do I have to repair the boot process from Safe Mode in Vista?
