This is not a good sign. If you are seeing the dots, which I am assuming they are in rows, or some line-like uniformity, when you first boot and on the Startup screen for Safe Mode (which is before Windows loads), this is an obvious indication that your video card has gone bad, and needs to be replaced. There is no software being loaded until you see the login screen to windows, or atleast the blue login screen flashes. This means you need to replace your video card. Fortunately, this is usually neither expensive, nor that hard. A decent video card can go for around $50 or more, depending on your needs. If you are a gamer or graphic designer, then a higher-end card will be more. Putting a new card in is not as hard as it may seem, but you may have experience on this. Let me know if I can be of further assistance, but this should solve your problem.

NeoSmart Technologies offers a download called Vista Recovery Disk in .iso format. Download and mount the iso with your favorit burning program. Boot to the cd to access the recovery center. Hopefully you'll be able to repair your Windows Vista installation or restore to a known good configuration.
Good Luck

Yes, this is a known issue with Vista. You need to back-up your data, format your hard drive and re-install Vista from the beginning.
There is really no use trying to repair it: it is damaged.
After you re-install Vista, do not forget to install service packs from microsoft.com.

The issue is you have changed your partition table. In most cases this will erase all data on the hard drive. You must reinstall windows to the hard drive, the repair option will not work since the data is gone.
Sorry for the bad news, I hope this helps clarify your issue
