Hi everyone,
I currently have an Asus K53E Laptop that cannot boot.
I launch the laptop and it says "windows is checking files" then It says "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically."

I Do Not Have The Option To Access The Boot Menu When Launching It Just Says "Checking Files"

I would first try booting off an installer disk or USB stick to see if a repair is possible that way. Sometimes you can fix issues by using the command prompt once you boot off the disk/stick and then run chkdsk /f C:

But you may need to do a clean installation of Windows 7. You can access all of your data and copy it off the drive first using a Live Linux USB stick. I prefer Mint and they are very easy to create using UNetbootin. That will not install anything on your HDD but will allow you to mount the drive and copy files if the drive is functional.
