You should have had either a Vista CD or a recovery CD supplied? According to the manual you can only access the Toshiba diagnostics utility from within Windows. Since you can't get Windows to boot, that's not going to help you much...
Since the laptop is under warranty I think your next call should be Toshiba support, or the retailer you bought it from. Most likely they need to run a repair routine on Vista, or (since you can't even start in Safe Mode) it is possible that you have a hard disk failure.No free lunch, and no free laptop
