well i dont have a usb flash drive...my one usb drive was lost by my classmate..... so i ended up using my external hard drive... okay i will try it after 7hrs need to sleep :) i'll update again soon

USB flash drives are very cheap these days. I recently bought a 16GB one from Maplins for £24 ($36).

I would Check your ram.
Memory Diagnostics Tool
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Also Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.
Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
HD Diagnostic

Why are you reinstalling in the first place?

From recovery environment then enter command prompt:
DIR C: (is this your windows system drive?)

Bootsect /nt60 C: /mbr
Bootsect /nt60 C:
Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /enum all

do you see info on "device" and "osdevice" lines that it's refering to C-drive?

Most likely your bcd store is located on wrong disk. I think external usb drive

k...i will try it after i finish my work :)
thanks for the help

There is no reason yet to assume he's got memory errors.
He should enter recover environment and check if C-drive has files on it and no errors.
DIR C:
chkdsk/f c:
is enough for now. All done from recovery envirnonment

No errors
