startup repair is just detecting problems and thats it! nothing else!

That's no longer there, ive tried to get system restore up but it doesnt seem to find it.
do you know why?

Please do #7 and tell me what drive letter the win7 disk has in the recovery environment. Post the results of #7 .

Maybe hard drive has hardware failures!? System Restore doesn't find any restore points... maybe it wasn't enabled? Or maybe the drive has a hardware failure. Maybe you messed around with the win7 partition from within linux or winxp?

Thank you all for your help. The issue now is that no matter how i start the laptop (safe mode with command prompt or just normally), it just wouldnt allow me to create a restore point, it says that no restore points have been made so i tried to create one, but it doesnt let me.
at the moment i have started the laptop in safe mode with command prompt and it has taking 10 minutes to prepare the desktop, now im stuck with a black screen with words typed in white, now ive researched and it has told me to type in rstrui.exe and it should let me to create a restore point, but i thought id ask you guys and listen to your thoughts on this. What should i do?

Can you boot successfully in "normal mode"?
"has taking 10 minutes to prepare the desktop"=> "preparing desktop" is the message you see? Please post exact message.

rstui is for "rolling back" to a so called "restore point" ... not for creating one. Why would you want to create one?

Why didn't you check the harddrive yet????? Do:

Code:

chkdsk/f  c:

Any errors? All repaired?
Now we do the same stepes 1-3 again but also check blocks in use (step 4) and unallocated blocks (step 5). It can take hours! Any errors in step 4 and 5?

Code:

chkdsk/r c:

System files integrity is fine?

Code:

sfc/scannow
