       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.

    Do a Strartup Repair:

    Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.

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

    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

    The Recovery Disks which Dell had you make are booted to restore the computer to factory condition. They are not the Repair CD. It says this quite clearly in Theog's post above. Please read everything thoroughly and ask back any questions you have.

    You need to make a Repair CD to run Startup Repair, or use a Win7 Installation DVD of the same bit-rate version (32 or 64 bit).

    Until you can get to a Win7 computer to make the Repair CD, you can try rebooting and tap the F8 key repeatedly, then see if the Repair console is on the Advanced Boot Options menu.

    If so, select Repair My Computer, see if it offers a repair and if not click through to run Startup Repair repeatedly from Recovery Tools list. However this is the same Startup Repair offered at boot which is apparently not working, and could be due to System File corruption, so you really need the Repair CD or Win7 DVD to run these repairs.

    You can copy out your files using the DVD, Repair CD or free Paragon Rescue CD.
    Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
    Paragon rescue disk; change drive letter; recover data

    Then you can run Factory Recovery from boot, use the Recovery Disks you made, or order Recovery Disks for Dell: Dell Restoring Your Computer´s Software to the Factory Settings

    Or find a Win7 installation DVD for your version to clean reinstall without the Dell preinstalled factory Bloatware: Reinstalling Windows 7

    Yes, but you need to burn it as an ISO image to create a bootable disc - do not just copy the download onto a disc.

    ImgBurn is an excellent free ISO burner.

    I wonder...what prompted you to try and run startup repair in the first place? Did Windows stop booting one day?
