Startup repair loop cannot get into safe mode

[dyoung1179]

I have a dell 9300 its older (2005) but has worked fine until yesterday. Nothing new added to it. Running windows 7. Dont have disc. Anyway my wife turned it on, it went to startup repair and restarts itself periodically. I have tried to use F8 on startup but it will not do anything just returns to Startup checking for problems then restarts again after a few minutes.

Oh I was able to use F12 and ran diagnostics and it says everything passed So HD is fine.

How did you install Windows 7?
Did you use a disc, thumb drive ect?
Where did you get Windows 7 from?

Window 7 (????)

Please use this tutorial by Brink to install your system specs.

repair details this time:
Boot Manager failed to find OS loader
Repair action: File repair
Result Failed Error code 0x490

repair action Boot configuration data store repair
result Failed error code 0x490

Repair action Sytem Restore
Result completed successfully error code 0x0

Is your system restored?
Can you boot into your computer?

Repair action Sytem Restore
Result completed successfully error code 0x0

I do not understand this.

System volume on disk is corrupt
repair action: File system repair (chkdsk)
Result: Completed succeddfully. Error code = 0x0
Time Taken = 76547 ms

That is one quick chkdsk

in the loop there is a point where is says it will restart the computer in ... seconds
there is a place to click to "see" repairs.
Those are the messages

and no it is still looping and i cannot do anything except F2 and F12
F8 will not work

ok i am working on it. I googled the error code. There is a repair for that code but i need to get into the OS in order to repair it. So hopefully this will allow me to get there

Is there a way i can get the files i want to save and then do a herd restore of windows this is ridiculous. I have tried the tutorials and none worked. Unless there is another way. I do not have a dvd burner so i cannot make a disk i will have to download something. Want to smash everything right now. Please help
