These instructions with assist you in the repairing of your computer:
Download and save this Windows 7 Recovery Disc Image to a working computer if Windows 7 32bit or this image if Windows 7 64bit.
Next, download and install ImgBurn(No need to install the Google Toolbar. Remove the relevant tick). Burn the Image to Disc. Use this guide(skip step 2b)
You can then use these instructions to assist you with an automatic Startup Repair or further to that, System Restore. Further to that we will have access to the Registry via Command Prompt in order to run chkdsk(important) and further to that a System File Check.
