I get the following error as soon as I try to boot up:

CONFIG_LIST_FAILED

STOP: 0x00000073 (0x00000001, 0xC000017D, 0x00000004, 0xF6EE9BB8

I am unable to boot into any of the options listed in safe mode.
 
No matter what option I choose, it still crashed. Also when selecting the OS
to start from it keeps saying Microsoft Windows XP Embedded. Is that normal?

The second parameter there (0xC000017D) suggests that you're short of disk
space. If so, try freeing some up eg via a recovery environment boot disk
etc .
 
Since I do not have a Vista DVD that came with this (its not my laptop), can
I boot with and XP Pro disk to try and gain access to the drive and delete
from it? If it matters, I can't even get the volume to mount using Ubuntu
8.04.

You could use that XP Pro disk to create a bootable 'BartPE' CD recovery
environment....

I did get the vista dvd that came with the laptop. When I boot from it I
only get an option to install. What are the steps to either repair and or
boot the system so I can recover the data.

If it's a standard Vista DVD, then after the first language-choosing screen
there should be a 'Repair your computer' option, for which you could either
try its automatic repair options or from which you can get to a command
prompt.
 
It's from Dell, the reinstallation DVD.
