Boot up using the Startup Repair CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, you will need a CD/DVD drive.
NOTE: Make sure no USB drives are plugged in.
Do not use a USB Pendrive for Startup Repair.

We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
& made the Startup Repair CD.

Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

I have ran the start up repair loads of time but it cant repair it . When i got the laptop on the first day dell told me to make a recovery disc which i did but when i put it into the laptop it doesn't do any thing.

The Recovery Disks which Dell had you make are booted to restore the computer to factory condition. They are not the Repair CD. It says this quite clearly in Theog's post above. Please read everything thoroughly and ask back any questions you have.

You need to make a Repair CD to run Startup Repair, or use a Win7 Installation DVD of the same bit-rate version (32 or 64 bit).

Until you can get to a Win7 computer to make the Repair CD, you can try rebooting and tap the F8 key repeatedly, then see if the Repair console is on the Advanced Boot Options menu.

If so, select Repair My Computer, see if it offers a repair and if not click through to run Startup Repair repeatedly from Recovery Tools list. However this is the same Startup Repair offered at boot which is apparently not working, and could be due to System File corruption, so you really need the Repair CD or Win7 DVD to run these repairs.

You can copy out your files using the DVD, Repair CD or free Paragon Rescue CD.
Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
Paragon rescue disk; change drive letter; recover data

Then you can run Factory Recovery from boot, use the Recovery Disks you made, or order Recovery Disks for Dell: Dell Restoring Your Computer´s Software to the Factory Settings

Or find a Win7 installation DVD for your version to clean reinstall without the Dell preinstalled factory Bloatware: Reinstalling Windows 7

Yes, but you need to burn it as an ISO image to create a bootable disc - do not just copy the download onto a disc.

ImgBurn is an excellent free ISO burner.

I wonder...what prompted you to try and run startup repair in the first place? Did Windows stop booting one day?

Does it let you go into the safe mode screen byt pressing F5. If so have you tried Last Known good command?

 

[gregrocker]

How many times did you run Startup Repair with reboots?

Go back to the steps I gave you above and work through each one, reporting back the results of each or asking any questions to get them done correctly.

 

[seantobin43]

ok i put the startup repair onto a disc and put it into my laptop it brings up "repair your computer" and i click on it . I did the repair about 3 or 4 times then the first three time it tells me windows cant not repair automatically on the forth time it tells me windows cannot detect a problem so i take out the disc and started the computer again it pauses when it shows windows symbol and straight after that a blue screen appears for about 1 second and it restarts the computer automatically and then it recommends me to repair the computer.

I have tried safe mode and last known good command

It's a zip file.

Extract it .

Inside is an .iso file.

Rt click the .iso and select burn image.

You need to have put a blank cd/dvd in the tray - don't format it.

Boot it.

If startup repair is having problems, first run checkdisk from the command prompt.

 

[seantobin43]

first run checkdisk from the command prompt.

I did that and it didn't say any errors

 

[gregrocker]

Then Continue working through the steps I gave you, copying out your files using Repair CD and attempting to run Dell Factory Recovery from partition, or if it won't run find a Win7 installation DVD to clean reinstall.

Where could i get a windows 7 installation disc would they be expensive or could i download one and burn it to a disc

Take a look at the Dell link in post 2.
