You have to highlight the disk (not partition). Sorry I forgot to mention that.
Ignore the last message, I had to highlight the disk. This does not work either and now I get this after the Starting Windows: http://i50.tinypic.com/qrf3m8.jpg
You did not answer my previous question: Can I transfer my files from this HDD to a new HDD?
I honestly do not want to deal with this anymore, It's been 9 hours of waiting, running back and forth, and frustration.
That message you are getting is nothing bad. Let it run. It may end up with a good boot.
As to your second question - yes you can transfer your files, e.g. to an external drive (do you have one ??). Then from there you can transfer it back into the system if you want to make a new installation. Not sure though whether you need a new disk. What makes you think your disk is no good. After a reformatting, it may work perfectly well. But that is your call.
There are several methods to transfer the files. The easiest is with a live Linux CD. How good are you in Linux ??. Another way would be with a WinPE CD of Macrium. I have uploaded the .iso to Skydrive and you could get it from there.
Tell me what you prefer and I get you the links for either method. There are tutorials for both methods.
It's not that I think it's a bad disk, I don't want to reform it. I have work, F:NV mods, and anime on it that I don't want to delete and or want to redownload.

I'd prefer a program that doesn't involve Linux in any way, shape, or form. I'm done with the BS OS called Linux.
I'll be marking this thread as Solved.
whs, thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it.
I don't have the patience to continue trying several different methods.
After the 9+ hours of running back and forth and frustration, I was convinced that it could not be fixed.
