    OK thanks a lot for your help, and if i have a feeling it is 64bit i just wasn't sure. So i just burn this onto a DVD or would a hard drive work as well. I'll try it out in the next day or two and let you know the outcome. Thanks again for your help.
    You're working on win7 now as well? Then download the ISO file rightclick on it, "open with" then "windows burning" or something like that

    Ok I have the iso file burnt onto a DVD but i'm still struggling to get it working. I have gone to the boot menu after pressing f2 and moved the USB CD/DVD option to 1 in the priority. I then exit and try to launch startup repair but I still get no results. I did download and burn the file on a mac but nothing on the file was changed so I assume that doesn't matter when trying to open it on a pc. I do also have the file on an external hard drive so I don't know if I might be able to try and open it from there?

    Does it boot from DVD? Please be more precise what happens. If it doesn't boot at all, take a look at the contents of DVD. Only one file (the ISO) on DVD? That's not correct!! Select "burn image" or something like that in burning program
