    If you have no stuff that you want to save, there really should be no problem unless your computer has hardware problems
    Just do this
    Set bios to boot from CD. I gave you the information on how to do that
    then
    Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version[2]=General Tips
    If you do this, I do not see why it would not work, unless you have hardware problems
    If you have stuff you want to save first, post back and I will tell you how.

    Let's back up to where you were at your friend's computer and wondered if you could burn a Repair CD: Yes.

    Type Backup into start Search box, create a System Repair disk, burn to CD.

    Boot the CD, see if it finds an installation to Repair, accept Repair. If it doesn't start, boot back in to run Startup Repair repeatedly.

    If you can't get it started, copy out your files using this method: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

    Then wipe the HD first (in case of infection) and clean reinstall using these tips to get a purrfect install: re-install windows 7
