Windows 7 wont boot

[AndyOHart]

Hey there.
So yesterday I was playing Hitman Absolution all day, ended up falling asleep with my laptop on.
Eventually it ran out of battery and when I woke up, it was drained of all power, as per usual.
However when I tried to start it up, it went into startup repair and then said it couldn't start windows.
Nothing would work, start up repair failed, and restoring to a previous image failed.
Safe mode wont work either and I have no idea what to do.
I tried some guide to reset the registry but It didn't work and now startup restoring an image fails too, I think I backed up the registry wrong.
Just wondering is there any suggestions on what I could do to solve this?
Thanks for any help

be prepared to reinstall....

most of the time people just do it if there are no solution

Most likely you corrupted your system Files

I would Backup all my data from my drive Recommend for you to get a UBUNTU disk

boot Disk

Partition your hard drive to have enough space for backing up your files

Save your files on your Backup Partition

Format the windows partition and reinstall

I would leave the backup partition Just in case it ever happens again.

I don't have a Windows 7 CD, it didn't come with my PC.
I have Windows 8 at home, if I used that and did the refresh thing that just puts Windows 8 on it and nothing else, would that work?

How can I backup and delete files on my C drive from Ubuntu? I'm currently on Ubuntu right now so I just need to delete some stuff to free up room for Windows 8
