Very good for doing a "upgrade install" thanx! Even my language (dutch) is listed!

But we were talking about recovery environment (later maybe startup repair) here. That can als be done by a non-SP1 repair disk or a non-SP1 installation DVD as well afaik.

Did that many times without an issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But an installation DVD is always usefull!

Only win7 professional dutch is listed!! not win7 home premium dutch and not win7 ultimate dutch.
Are professional, home premium and ultimate ISO's all the same (except ie.cfg)? So removing ei.cfg will unlock them all?

Windows 7 ISO x86 and x64 Official Direct Download Links (Ultimate, Professional and Home Premium) « My Digital Life

There you can download iso files (english but language doesn't matter. Don't install from it, just "repair your computer") take a X64 ISO!! and burn it to DVD. Start from DVD and enter recovery environment System Recovery Options option 2. Enter command prompt Command Prompt at Startup

Now in commandprompt:

diskpart
list disks (how many? I assume only 1)
sel disk 0
list partition (how many?)
sel part 0
det part
sel part 1
det part
sel part 2
det part
sel part 3
det part
--------
which partition is "active"
what's the type of that partition?
det part will tell you

a bit lost but does not matter i did what was asked to do
screenshots

before the pc brokedown this is what i did through f9
and i was on this page, it is the link:

i chose the second option

now that it is broken
and i press on f9
it will go to this page
image 3445 on left

and the page gets stuck on this image 3447 on right

hope that helps out
what i have here so far

by the way i have to mention that i do not have anything special that i want to keep
i would just like to have my windows7 to work again if possible

Make sure you are booting from your CD/DVD Drive.
