Actually creating a repair disk is the simple solution and it work, never knew it was that simple thanks.

So you booted the disk to run Startup Repair, or was something further required?

If everything's working fine now you can mark the thread Solved at top.

No not really, the computer is still not fixed yet, although i just heard my friend has a windows 7 home premium 64-bit disk
so i'll just borrow him the disk and use the repair tools, i think that will help.

thanks for all your help anyway
