I gave you a link where you can download the .iso for Windows 7 and how to create the install DVD or flash drive. If you follow those directions you will have a WIndows 7 install DVD you can use to repair your computer.

Like I said I burned the .iso image to an USB drive and set it to boot first in the bios, and still there was no repair your computer options when I get in the advanced boot options screen.

If I didnt press F8 to get in the advanced boot options this would happen. After it loaded the files from the usb thêre is a windows boot screen then the whole screen just turned completely black with a white pointer in it. I waited for about 45 mins and nothing changed. Do you suggest I should go to a computer repair shop?

I hate to see you spend money to fix this but it may be the best way to go.

Before you do:

What version of Windows 7 do you have and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Which .iso did you download and how did you create the flash drive? Give me the name at the web site and the filename.ext as it exists on your computer

Can you take a picture of the Advanced Boot Options Menu using a digital camera and post it?

If I can't help after that then a repair shop is the best way to go.

I have Windows 7 Home premium, Im 80% sure it is 64 bit.

I downloaded this .iso: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh) and on my computer it shows up as this: X17-58997.iso

I use this link you gave me to burned to an Usb: http://www.pendrivel...-easy-as-1-2-3/

Unfortunately I cannot take a picture of the Advanced boot option menu because I dont have a camera in this place im living in. But I can tell exactly what it looks like.
It looks EXACTLY like the one in this link http://www.sevenforu...ot-options.html except it doesnt have the repair your computer option.

Edit; Now i cant even get into the advanced boot options menu following the instruction in http://www.sevenforu...ot-options.html It just wont go in after repeated trials

Okay, thanks. That all sounds correct. Sounding more and more like a hard drive problem so taking it into a shop is about all you can do. Please let me know how you make out.
