My computer won't start up?

I have a sony vaio notebook, last night I put it into hibernate mode, and when i went to bring it back up this morning it froze, so I turned the computer off. Now when I try to start it it goes to a screen that says "The last attempt to restart the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to restart again? and has two options 'Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu' and Continue with system restart' ". It freezes and I can't get past this screen. Is there anything I can do?

Answers:
To resolve this issue, restart the computer. If the error still occurs, search the hard drive for the presence of the Wininit.ini file, and then rename it. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Restart your computer in Safe or DOS Mode.
2. Click Start, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders.
3. In the Named box, type wininit.ini.
4. In the Look in box, click Local hard drives, and then click Find Now.
5. Right-click the Wininit.ini file, click Rename, type wininit.xxx, and then click OK.
6. Close the Find Files window, and then run System Restore again.
7. If the previous steps do not resolve the problem, run the following command to repair the damaged portions of your registry:
scanreg /fix
