Is there any way for me to save my files? Could it be as easy as removing my hard drive and placing in a new one, then reinstalling windows?

Just follow the links. OK easier I think to do the second one first.(Thats the Ubuntu) Did you not see this post before, it has been sitting there for a week? Are you sure you have a product key number?
Won't be quite that simple,but:
You can boot from a system repair disc, go to a command prompt and then copy everything dear to your heart to a usb stick.
The same can be accomplished using a Win 7 DVD.
Another approach:
Put PuppyLinux on a CD
Boot from that CD.
Use PuppyLinux to copy your files to a usb drive/stick.
PuppyLinux is rather intutitive.
PuppyLinux doesn't install anything on your computer.

Thanks everyone, I'll give those a shot, although I believe a repair install will simply not read the CD.

There is a step in it to rescue your files.
You can also try working through Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot which includes a System file check done from the installer/Repair CD's Command Line that can possibly repair the System Files damaged by using an Registry Cleaner - the surest way to ruin your Win7.
