While this is not necessarily a fix to your problem, if you have any critical files on the drive(s), you can get them using Knoppix (a live linux distro than you burn to a CD).  There are more directions here on how to use knoppix to rescue data.  

You can get exact details on how to control Vista features here.  Good luck!
