You can't scan anything if it won't boot up.
Whats your answer to that?

I know I'm grave digging this post, but
Take the hard drive out and plug it into another computer(you will need a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter) and scan it there. Or..
Boot into any live cd and see if the drive can be read- I prefer to use puppy linux or ubuntu for this and send the data over the network with samba. Both of these mount drives automatically.
Boot with ubd4win and run chkdsk and scan for virii etc- restoring the registry from here might fix it too(if window tries to boot without the security file, it will rebuild one)
Then boot with ubcd, run ranish, and verify the IPL is set to standard(this rids you of boot sector virii) oops and run free fdisk to see if the partitions are in good shape
Then do a repair install of vista
