Windows 7 maybe thinks it's on (E:) and not (C:)

I would use Partition Wizard, or the Win7 disk/flash stick installer or System Repair Disk
Command line to confirm Partition Marked Active,
then also use the disk to run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times.

If System files are corrupt then so might be the onboard repair files.

Use Partition Wizard boot disk and the Win7 disk to do the steps I just gave you if you have not, then post back a camera snap of PW drive map showing all listings clearly.

Try the bootrec commands you mentioned earlier from the 7 disk Command Line accessed by booting the disk, at first screen press Shift + F10 to open Command Box. This may force it to show an install to repair.

It says Windows will search for an Operating System to repair. my doesn't do anything it just stays like the photo i took before and when i put load drivers this pops out, Insert the installation media for the device and click OK to select the driver and this happens

Waiting for any confirmation that you have marked C Active and run three Startup Repairs.

I'd use Partition Wizard boot disk to mark C Active, so you can post back a camera snap of the drive map showing all listings. It is those listings we need to see.

Otherwise use Diskpart from the Win7 disk Command Line to Mark Active then run the 3 repairs. You can access Startup Repair on the next menu even if Win7 doesn't show up in the windows to repair. It may still work. But if it never appears then to force it use the bootrec commands you referenced earlier, but from the disk Command Line.

ANy questions?

When I run the bootable partition wizard my laptop just restarts it's installed right because i've used the same program before and it gets the the boot menu where i get three options but all three make my computer restart.

Alright i used the other option and here are my partitions.

Elsewhere under storage there should be a SATA controller setting. You may need to highlight it and click Enter to see if you can change it's setting. What are the choices?
