Its ok, i sorted it (yes i know it didn't take me that long but i paniked lol:) )
Scanning through old posts i found the answer, i'll post it below in case anyone else has the same problem...

From the DOS prompt simply type:
CD Windows [press enter]
setup [press enter]
In the dialogue box, select "Display" and change it to "VGA" and click OK. That will restore the default VGA driver Windows uses for the intitial install.
