Serious Problem with OS

[ultrafast]

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop which has completely locked me out. I cannot boot with out a black screen saying I need to run my recovery disk.

try to boot up it will say this;

Windows Boot Manager

Install Windows installation disk and restart

File: Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000f

info: an error occured while attempting to read boot configuration data

Tried F8 while booting from HDD skips a goes straight to above screen.

If I run the disk repair under system recovery options it says

Windows found problems w/ start up options

I then click on repair start up it then says:

Failed to save start up options

Another test says I have no OS installed

I try memory check it says:

windows cannot check for memory problems.

I try command prompt and I cannot get it to display any drive other then X:\

BTW I am running Vista SP2 Satellite Model #A135-4527

I have two computers so, copy info from one to the other is no problem. If I left any needed information out please respond

Thank You all

Thank You for the reply I was unable to use those suggestions. DOS wont accept any of those commands.I feel at this point I should just try to recover as much data as possible. Is there a free disk to this? and how do I find out from DOS if my system is Fat or NFTS?

Thanks

... Is there a free disk to this?...

Something in this thread may help.

Ultimate Boot CD

If the ultimateboot CD doesn't work, you can save your data with Knoppix, here is how.
