Default Stuck on loading windows, and crashes on safe mode... someone help

My brothers Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop recently started to "hang" on the loading windows screen, weve let it sit for 20mins and still just sits at the loading screen. Tried to boot it in safe mode a couple of times and it will blue screen and crash after too long.
He's running Vista Home Premium, the original OS was XP though. Computer has been running fine on vista for over a year now.

Anyone have a clue whats wrong, were tryin not to loose some valuable data by doing a wipe and reinstall.

Been searching google for a bit and im finding some posts of people with a smiliar issue, but nothing of value to help, and ive yet to call Dell and talk to someone because its a hassle trying to talk to them.

Would appreciate some feedback, helpful feedback.

Thanks

I let the computer boot into safe mode, it took a half hour to log in to my admin account. I ran a system restore to try to restore whatever may be causing it, the restore completed and the comp rebooted back into normal mode, hung on the loading screen again.

I sat there for 45min, and no blue screen so ill try again another time because that was a waste of 45min. haha

Hook the hard drive up to another computer and copy the data you want to save, then reinstall fresh. Or install fresh to another partition and move your data over. Or boot off a USB stick and save it there, then reinstall fresh and copy it back.

Either way, there's a pattern to all those options.

Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter - Cables To Go
Get this and hook up the drive to a desktop then copy what you need. Then put the drive back into the laptop and format then reinstall Vista. I know of a few people that had problems with upgrading an OS but when they did a fresh format/install they didn't have them.

a quick google search shows either a bad CD, failing CDROM drive or failing hard drive.

Hanging up at the loading screen and BSOD is probably some of the most common OS failures out there, could be a ton of things from a simple corruption of system files to a bad HDD.

If you care about your data get an external enclosure or hook the drive up as a secondary in another pc and get all of your data off. Once you do that go out and BUY AN EXTERNAL!!! They're about $100 for a 500GB drive, if you have important data on your computer then just go out and get one it'll save you a lot of headaches.

After that, reformat - quickest, easiest, safest way to repair OS issues. Then if you really want to know download some disk checking utility like DFT and run it overnight to see if the drive's bad.
