Are upgrade disks able to repair?

I have a HP Compaq CQ60-615DX Notebook Windows 7 home. Unfortunately the computer will no longer boot.
This computer came to me with a busted screen. Paid $25 for a sacrificial Compaq to cannibalize the screen off of it (came with an extra battery too!). After replacing the laptop screen I was able to turn the laptop on while connected to power. I now receive that black screen that says "Windows Error Recovery" with two options: 1. Launch Startup Repair (recommended) 2. Start Windows Normally

If I do the Launch Startup Repair it requires me to insert a disk. I do not have any Windows 7 disks.

If I do the Start Windows Normally I get the Windows logo and "starting windows" but I get no further. The computer just stays like this until eventually it restarts and brings me back to the black screen.

My question now is will the Windows 7 Home Upgrade disk work as a repair disk? I have posted a link to one that I am interested in purchasing off of eBay.

Yes that is the laptop. Thank you, now I know what version of Windows is on it!

What does the SHA-1 mean? I will have to find a DVD burner!

Also, when I try to boot into safe mode it will load up some of what it needs to and then stops with "Please Wait". It will then reboot into nothing. I tried that when I got home from work today, not sure if that means this is not salvageable or what exactly is going on.

These are two things I have found so far. Not sure which would be better to try...

SHA1 is a type of checksum that is generated for a file. After you download a file you can calculate the SHA1 for the file. If this matches the specified SHA1 then file is good and not corrupted. The syntax used is: CertUtil -hashfile PATH\FILENAME SHA1. For example:

1. Open CMD prompt with Administrator privileges
2. Move to the folder with the ISO file. In my case it was in C:\TEMP.
3. Type the command: C:\TEMP> CertUtil -hashfile en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_676701.iso SHA1

By the result you can see that the SHA1 matches that in post #2. That means the file is good.

Just a way to verify file integrity so as to know it's not been tampered with.

Sorry friends I have been busy with work this past week and was out of town since Friday. Thank you for all the replies
@SIW2 So the two links I posted will work as Windows 7 installs?

Correct, was just double checking to make sure that those are what I am in fact looking for.

I will use your tool to burn them to a USB. I think I have a 4GB one sitting around here somewhere...
