You can try booting the Win7 installation media System Recovery Options
or System Repair Disk to run a few Startup Repairs to see what it reports.

You can also try using either of those disks or a disk like DBAN to Quick WIpe the HD with Diskpart Clean Command which will often cause balky Recovery disks to boot and run.

But these are all in service to the factory preinstall of WIn7 which is the worst possible install one can have to begin with. So what I would do is enjoy native Win7 performance on that PC for the first time by doing a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything needed is in the blue link to get and keep a perfect install
