       Information
    Boot up using the Startup Repair CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, you will need a CD/DVD drive.
    NOTE: Make sure no USB drives are plugged in.
    Do not use a USB Pendrive for Startup Repair.


    1) Use the Rebuild BCD in this tutorial:
    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    2) FixMBR.

       Information
    We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's app the first day you had your new PC.
    & made the Startup Repair CD.

    If you have not made your Startup Repair
    System Repair Disc - Create
    Do you have a mate with Windows 7 & CD/DVD RW Drive, how could burn one off.

    No luck = ( Its seems to be stuck in this startup repair circle.....its a Dell, so I did a system restore back to original factory date and when it restarts it goes right into the startup repair that says it cannot fix the problem and takes me right back to system repair options. I requested the original Windows 7 discs and the drivers & utilities disc.....they emailed me and I should get them in a couple days. Will I be able to do a clean install of Windows 7 and escape this vicious startup repair circle its stuck in?
