To begin the Windows 7 Startup Repair process, you will need to boot from the Windows 7 DVD.

No user intervention is required here. Just wait for the Windows 7 setup process to load files in preparation for whatever task you might want to complete.

In our case its a Startup Repair, but there are a lot of tasks that could be completed with the Windows 7 DVD.

Note: No changes are being made to your computer during this step. Windows 7 is only temporarily "loading files."

Choose the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method that youd like to use in Windows 7.

Click Next.

Click on the Repair your computer link on the bottom-left of the Install Windowswindow.

This link will begin the Windows 7 System Recovery Options which contains several useful diagnostic and repair tools, one of which is Startup Repair.

Note: Do not click on Install now. If you already have Windows 7 installed, this option is used to perform a Clean Install of Windows 7 or a Parallel Install of Windows 7.

System Recovery Options, the set of tools that contains Startup Repair, will now search your hard drive(s) for any Windows 7 installations.

You dont need to do anything here but wait. This Windows installation search shouldnt take more than a few minutes at most.
