    Startup repair may run for long in some cases, but not as long as you are saying.

    Abort it and do the post #9.

    As you sent your last email, it finished startup repair but it said it failed. These were the the problems:
    Problem signature
    Problem event name:startup repair offfline
    problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
    problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
    03: unknown
    04: -1
    05: external media
    06:1
    07: NoOs Installed
    OS Version 6.1.7601.2.0.256.1

    Does this mean anything?
    Do you want me still to continue to do the 2 tests that you said?

    How are you trying to get it on your USB stick? From the tutorial SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

    2. For writing it to an USB pen drive, the easy way is to use Win32 Disk Imager | Free Development software downloads at SourceForge.net


    Note
    The downloaded ISO will not be written to the USB Pen Drive as it is. You need to alter the .iso file a bit to make it writable. Very little job is involved.
    • Download or install either 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR (not free).
    • Extract the downloaded .iso file.
    • Rename the SeaTools.ima to SeaTools.img.
    • Burn the SeaTools.img file using Win32 Disk Imager

    Then what is the Seatools for DOS that you downloaded and cannot save onto USB??

    I am really trying but I don't think I am getting very far.
    I don't think I saved it correctly on the USB as I couldn't extract the ima. I just ended up copying it. It didn't change anything when I put the USB into the broken computer.
    And the partition wizard - I downloaded that but it didn't come up to the screen shot that you had. It said: on a black screen with white writing it said: intel boot agent GEv 1.3.66 PXE-E61 media test failure, check cable PXE-MOF Exiting Intel Boot Agent Insert system disk in drive press any key when ready and then it cycles around that again.
    Please advise.

    Save it to your desktop, open it with 7 zip and rename the seatools.IMA file to Seatools.IMG and use Win32diskImager to write it to a USB Flash drive. Step by step is here SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use
