A Micro(soft) freak out

During an installation that crashed, I had all sorts of Windows errors, so I rebooted. And booted into a solid black screen, where explorer kept crashing, and Windoze "Live ID" kept failing. According to Network magic, the system was available, but not from the computer itself, but from other ones.

I tried System Restore: failed due to 'unspecified error'

I tried System Repair: also failed.

So, I rebooted without the Vista DVD in the drive, and it booted into desktop, with "System Restore didn't work" message, and then promptly reported what caused the crash to Micro$oft. Here's hoping they can figure it out and let me know how to prevent the blind panic.
