If it doesn't boot in safemode it probably never will. Trying to get windows to boot on a different motherboard is usually only possible with similar chipsets. You can throw it in the rig and grab the files from it, but you won't be able to boot from it.

When that bar starts to scroll, the windows Vista boot files are being loaded, if they are corrupted you need to do a clean install, can you get into safe mode, if not you can forget about windows.
You need to get his data of the disk drive, as XD say's you need to put that drive in a external enclosure or a docking station or connect it as a data drive to save the critical data. You need to then delete the partitions and re-install Vista, preferably with his own computer, might pay to do a quick test of the disk drive prior to re-installing. |

LOL... he said snatch.
 Seriously... just connect the crashed hard drive into a external dock like station, access it and just pull all the files off that you want to save, format it then put it back into the original computer and reinstall vista. |

Maybe it's an expression, what he'd want a program for is a little confusing.
