Not many options here.

Create a bootable CD

Download this ISO file to the Desktop and burn it to a CD as an ISO.

To burn the file, install the free version of DeepBurner Free

Place a blank CD in your computer.

Start DeepBurner and select Burn ISO Image then click Next (you may need to maximize the DeepBurner window)
                         
Under the window where it says Image file you have to select the rc.iso file you just downloaded. (click the little button to the right)

Once the file is selected click Burn ISO

With the ISO CD you just burned in the CD drive restart the computer.
Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD drive if you are prompted.
When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER

Type: chkdsk /r and press Enter (note the space between the chkdsk and /r)

To exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, type exit at the command prompt, and then press ENTER

    Put the burned disk in the other computer.

    When starting you will need to tap F12 to get to the boot menu and choose to boot from the disk.

          How many Windows installs is it showing ? ?
          Have you tried using the up/down arrow to highlight the selection and hit Enter ? ?

          Sounds like you have a 2nd install of Windows from your repair efforts...

                That is a generic article and isn't going to help here. Besides. What they are asking to be done is THE SAME as what we are trying! Only here there is an open dialog here....

                @ Alan Rfc1

                Can you answer the questions Patio asked please. I'm really thinking you are looking at a reinstall.

                How many Windows installs is it showing ? ?
                Have you tried using the up/down arrow to highlight the selection and hit Enter ? ?
