Even though my fans and lights go on, that could still be the problem? Thanks.

And now my main problem is that it won't boot into the Vista partition. It loads the splash-screen (loading bar) of Vista and then goes to a black screen. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

SMART test failure means HDD is failing. I've never seen SMART return a "false positive" failure message.
