you can't repair Vista using 7 disc, better install 7, its better then vista

do you have sensitive data on your computer?
then get an external hard disk and a linux live cd.

boot the live cd and copy all required data, and reformat and install windows 7

download this hiren boot CD
this has windows xp live cd integrated in it, that will be too easy for you

yeah, that seems to be the best solution right now. Backup all your data on a portable hdd using any LINUX live boot and then install a fresh copy of windows 7.
