Can you borrow a Seven DVD?

You can hit f8 rapidly and quickly during boot to get to the repair options, if you dont have the DVD

Did you get a recovery DVD with the computer?

 

[moldjelly]

I don't have one it searched the system for one and didn't find it.

 

[richc46]

Give me the make and model of the computer

[moldjelly]

I built the computer and then i borrowed the windows 7 dvd from my friend.

 

[richc46]

Where did you get the Windows key number from?

 

[moldjelly]

My friend had got the dvd from his family and he did'nt need it so he let me install it, but anyways i don't have the dv.d with me and i copied it a while back on my pc's harddrive and its corrupted .

 

[richc46]

We tried a repair install>no dvd
We tried to use recovery console>did not work
system image>dont have one
System Restore>No points
Key and DVD >Unknown belongs to a friend.

Not much more that I can think of to do.
