Greetings All,
Any help that you might give is greatly appreciated.
I attempted to reinstall Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720.
Any ideas of what to do next?
thoughts?

I attempted to reinstall Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720.
- I did the normal backup of materials, and then put in the disc, instructing it to do a full wipe and then a reinstall.
- It said that it would reboot a few times in the process, and to leave it alone. I started the process and then left home.
- When I got home, it was on a black screen, with a white mouse pointer.
- Nothing responds on the keyboard except to use the power button.
- When I attempt to reboot, it gives me the instructions to use the 'repair your computer' prompt on the Vista install disc.
- I tried all the options on that, including a scan that took hours, all to no use.
- I've tried the re-do the reinstall 3x now, all to the same result.
- I got out the diagnostics disc and ran a full diagnostic on the HDD (8 hours), and it passed with flying colors.
