0xc01a001d error code after installing sp1

After I successfully install SP1 for vista and restart is when the trouble starts. I get a black screen with this "!! 0xc01a001d !!" then it is seems like it is scanning the registry but everytime it gets to 28141/92470 it seems to stop or get stuck at that point. The screen is black and looks exactly like this:

!! 0xc01a001d !! 28141/92470 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedData...)

IT stays that way until i manully press the power button to turn it off. Can any of you experts tell me why this is happening?
Thanks

I am not going to run in here and ask how to repair a problem with a PC unless I have exhausted all options that I have tried. Doing a restore and a repair was one of the firsst things recommended when I googled the error message.Start up repair cannot fix the problem and restore will not work either.Sorry for sound rude. I am just frustrated. Please don't take it personal. I am sorry.

So it says if I can't do a repair or a restore that the only way is to restore vista. With that said can you tell me how to get to the reinstall on a toshiba laptop?

Would it be better just to buy a Windows 7 OS since my customer doesn't have the vista CD and format and install aftering backing up?

Please explain to me where I accepted my own comment. I awarded points to K_Wikes and Nobus. I am starting to rethink my commitment to PAYING annually for this site when there are several others who don't get so intrusive into why, what, who, where, etc. about the question I ask. I am not interested in one single point. I come here to have people who are more knowledgeable than I and need help with a PC problem and/or solution. I also pay for that service. I could write on and on and on but that would be wasting even more of my time like you have already done to many times to mention.
Unhappy subscriber to the admin's that run this site,

i agree that Windows 7 is a good idea (though the Vista with upgrades is nearly as good)
note that for a smooth running system, you want 2 GB Ram, at least
and i see you r point selection as you posted correct
