I have done all the steps and did not miss anything, but when I restarted my laptop it still goes to the start up repair window. What should I do? Please help. I tried tapping on the F8 button repeatedly on the boot screen (black screen) and it only makes a beeping sound and goes straight to startup repair.

Thanks so much!

I have something like this I guess. Need a way to get out the startup repair loop on my windows 7 laptop. I skipped to Step 4 but theres no options for Advanced details and etc. What should I do?

Hello Pradatorius,

You might see if you are able to boot from either your System Repair Disc or retail Windows 7 installation media (DVD/USB) to the System Recovery Options screen, then pick up at step 5 in the tutorial.

Hope this helps, :)
