Welcome aboard

As you have borrowed the DVD , is it of the same bit/version (32 or 64) of yours ? If so, boot into the DVD, and mark the 100 MB System Reserved (hidden) Partition or C partition (if the System Reserver partition is there, it is highly recommend that you mark that partition as active) active using the second method of the tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/71432-partition-mark-active.html .

Now, run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html at least three separate time with restarts after every single run.

Let us know if it stored now or not.
