Startup repair Didn,t work, Didn,t give me an option to do it.

I have found,and selected repair and gone to dialogue box to system recovery options.
According to tutorial, I tick the top left circle,( done) and select OS to repair.
No Os,s showing, just a blank box, no W7 as shown in tutorial.
On screen it says,
if OS is not shown, click Load Drivers and instal them for my hard disk?

I really need a bit of advice now if possible, don,t want to make matters worse than they are.

Will not click anything, until then:beer:

Very unusual that it is not seeing the Hard disk, most modern PC's use Sata or IDE.

Did you remove the disk and maybe not put it back properly?

Surely this screen telling you to Click on "Load drivers" is advice from Microsoft.

If this doesn't get you anywhere then it would seem that recovery is not an option and a reinstall would be your last resort if you have never taken an image of the working system.

A reinstall would likely be your best option and you would start off with a clean operating system with no added crap.

There are other recovery tools and partition tools, so existing partition could be shrunk and moved to make space for a new partition on which to build new version if existing one can't be recovered.

Once that boots data could be copied to data partition then the old partition nuked.

Hold on, hold on which disk did you boot from. The one I posted about was 64 bit , not going to find your o/s if you are 32 bit. I am tied to a small i-thing ar the mo and will be moving about a bit again soon.

That,s the pic on my Pc, and I have never done an image, wouldn't,t know how:)
Only one partition as I recall when I installed it?
Changed it from 2 , c and d , on Vista, to one only, c ?.
No partitions as I recall.
I followed the same instructions as the tutorial when doing it, just not repair.

I,m sure:-)
