12/9/14 windows update>pc won't boot from ssd
Shut my computer down the night of the update and turned it on the next day and my computer wouldn't boot Windows from my ssd I've been searching for answers but haven't landed on anything yet. When I put the win7 disc in to try to restore from image it fails, and when I run startup repair it says the root cause is that the partition table does not have a valid system partition. When I try the system restore option it says I have to specify which Windows installation to restore but have nowhere to select that. I've heard done talk of getting my hands on a Windows 8disc and repair it with that but don't have the disc (yet...not sure if anyone else thinks this will work?) and also some command prompt suggestions, but I don't know a heck of a lot about that. I also have a hdd with most of my documents that I don't want to lose if possible.
What are my options? Anyone know how I can fix this? Need more info?
Many thanks for any help
