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?

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.
