    If you ever get back into Vista there are some tips here:

    What screen saver do you mention? Not Vista I presume as it is not booting.

    The black screen cursor indicates your hard drive is not being found or the boot sector is not being found.

    I would definitely run the manufacturers diagnostic on the hard drive.

    Also can you boot into Safe Mode?
