Hi Shiny
SO vista no longer boots but tries to with errors. The ME boot is a red herring as your disk is NTFS and effectively invisible, forget ME - destroy the disk immediately.
Easiest solution is to download an
ubuntu live CD here, boot from it, check you can still see your pictures, though i dont see why not, and back them up to some usb device. I then recommend you install ubuntu after formatting the entire hard drive. No really.
or linux mint is nice - ill happily send you boot cds/dvds to try, just give me an address
