Startup Repair offline?

[Paulh267]

For some reason my PC doesn't seem to want to load windows 7. I've had no problems until today, the only things i have changed is that I installed Bioshock 2, after I installed it my PC stopped reading DVDs yesterday (until I reset it, then continued to work normally). For some reason when I turned it on this morning it went into startup repair and said the Event Name: StartupRepairOffline.

I have tried using system restore to 3 different points (2 of them before Bioshock 2 was installed and 1 being system restore point from yesterday). After I do any of them the computer restarts then does exactly the same thing again saying that I have don't system restore at all (as the 3 restore options are still available)

Can someone please help me with this as I have lots of documents on my PC I need to access.

Thanks,
Paul

Can you boot to safe mode?

Can you boot to safe mode?

I looked up about that and people said to press F8, which I tried when I started it up but nothing happened? I can press F11 to get to the BIOS menus and another F to get to the boot menu but all that displays is whether I want to boot from Disc drive or hardrive which are no use.

Do you need any more info?

Just when the boot logo appears, keep hitting the F8 key and it will show you few options. Select Safe Mode.
