Hi,
I am trying to fix my nieces laptop, she was complaining about popups and laptop being dreadfully slow. Seems like a virus. For some reason i cannot be able to get beyond the Windows 7 Starting Windows Screen and then i hit an error. This has been shown in the images below;
First image - just need to get this fixed - this pops up always
Don't know what has gone on here - fixing the first issue may just resolve this one
I don't have a Windows 7 disk with me, not a bootable one anyway, when i try making an ISO image and then burning it to make a USB Bootable Drive it says invalid ISO.
However i do have Trinity Rescue Disk - never come across this and a newbie to using this.
Can anyone please assist me - i am trying to recover the files and pictures from the laptop and then do a complete fresh install.
Thanks in advance

You said you don't have a Windows CD?
Also you need to make sure you are in the Windows Directory C: and not X:
This type of error is relate to the post I posted, have you follow every bit of that guide?
Have you tried System Restore to a time before this error happened?

Ah - Silly me!! Forgot to do use C: and not X:
Brian I ended up download a ISO recovery disk and booting from that right let me give that a go and I'll update this thread with my progress or findings.
OK I wait until next reply.

When I enter E: which is where the OS is on it doesn't do anything. Its gone to starting with does but boy is it flipping slow!
C: Drive wasn't showing anything against it. Let me somehow get the images attached on here.
Still get the same error as before. Tried rebuildbcd & all 3 commands no luck. Am I going wrong somewhere?
