    Unless you want to reinstall Windows and start fresh, that DVD won't work for what we may want to try to do.
    However, if you reinstall Windows, all your data will be lost.
    Let me know, if you want to do it, or we should keep trying to fix it.

    No I prefer not to lose everything, so if there's any other way to fix it I would rather do that.

    You'll need to ask your friend to create another CD for you....

    If you have Vista/7 DVD...

    start with step 2

    If you don't have Vista/7 DVD...

    1. Create Vista/7 Recovery Disc.

    Option 1 :
    Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/141820-create-recovery-disc.html (Option Two)
    Windows 7: http://www.guidingtech.com/3816/system-repair-recovery-disc-windows-7/

    Option 2:
    Download Vista Recovery Disc iso image: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/
    Download Windows 7 Recovery Disc iso image: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
    Burn it to CD, or DVD: http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/G/Burning+ISO+Images+to+a+CD+or+DVD

    2. Boot from created disk.

    Vista users. At first screen click on Repair your computer:

    Windows 7 users. At first screen click on Install now:
    [​IMG]
    Select your language and click next:
    [​IMG]
    Click the button for "Use recovery tools ":
    [​IMG]

    The following applies to both, Vista and Windows 7 users.

    This will bring you to a new screen where the repair process will look for all Windows Vista/7 installations on your computer. When done you will be presented with the System Recovery Options dialog box:
    [​IMG]
    After this, it will present you with a list of options including startup repair, system restore and command prompt:
    [​IMG]
    Try System Restore, first.
    If that doesn't work, try Startup Repair.
