Urgent! Need Windows 7 Repair help

I have a windows 7 machine that absolutely won't boot.  

When I boot I get a window with 2 options:
     Launch Startup Repair (recommended)
     Start Windows Normally

Neither of these options work.  In both cases I am back at the same window.

I cannot find my original windows CD that came with my computer.  But I do have a valid Windows 7 license key.

I need a way to repair install without loosing my data.    The only working machine I have is a mac (using it to post this message).  

How can I repair/recover my windows install?  Any advice?
Windows 7

Which version of Windows 7 are you running?  Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate?  32 or 64-bit?

Its windows 7 home.    I'm looking for the disks for a reinstall.  The urgency is downgraded because I borrowed someone's pc.  But I would still ike to solve this problem without paying for a Windows CD.
