Hi techkisses - Welcome to w7forums

If you don't have Windows 7 install media, try Windows 7 System Recovery. Many of the tools needed for boot repair are on the disk. The disk is not install media, it's for recovering Windows 7 only.

This thread may be of interest to you. It will work with the repair disk, the same way it does for the install media.

Ouch

I didn't know they pulled the download links from the page.

Give me a few more minutes to investigate further.

By "skin" I guess you mean a theme. One of the popular current ways to plant virus's on your computer is by way of image files. If you do get the OS up and running, I would suggest an immediate full scan with your Antivirus program.

I would stay clear of torrent downloads, they can be unpredictable. This is , possibly a better option:

Thanks. I tried the windows recovery and saved the iso file on a usb flash drive, it wont boot up on my laptop.

You have to burn the ISO file to the USB flash drive. Don't copy it, burn it and make sure it's set as a bootable USB device. Then make sure the USB flash is set as the first boot device in the BIOS of the computer you're trying to repair.

Here is a link to download a special app to burn the ISO to a USB Flash drive: http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-U...-10972600.html
