Having problems starting Vista CD

So I installed linux on a Vista laptop dual booting with the original
Vista install. After a while I uninstall linux, and now windows vista
won't boot. So I have all the documents off of my computer I want
really, its just a work computer, doesn't have a lot of personal stuff
on it. So I was just going to completely reinstall Vista...but there is
a problem. I put in the install DVD and it will go past the load bar
thing, and then stop on the screen with the mouse... I can move the
mouse, but it won't do anything. I let it set for about an hour now, no
change. And the DVD is the OS disk that came with the laptop...so it
should work. Any hints or solutions? My OS is Windows Vista Home Basic
64bit Edition.

Thanks!
