    Welcome aboard

    As you have borrowed the DVD , is it of the same bit/version (32 or 64) of yours ? If so, boot into the DVD, and mark the 100 MB System Reserved (hidden) Partition or C partition (if the System Reserver partition is there, it is highly recommend that you mark that partition as active) active using the second method of the tutorial Partition - Mark as Active .

    Now, run Startup Repair at least three separate time with restarts after every single run.

    Let us know if it stored now or not.

    Boot up using the Startup Repair CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, you will need a CD/DVD drive.
    NOTE: Make sure no USB drives are plugged in.
    Do not use a USB Pendrive for Startup Repair.
