Sounds more like a windows problem. But give the bootdisk a try. Avast has a free dos version which you can use. There is a thread with the key on it somewhere on this board. Not sure, but I think it was Technical who wrote about it.
But why not make it easy on yourself and just give the BART cd a try?
You can get a free evalution version which is fully working.
But have you already tried to boot into the “last know good configuration” and/or the repair option?
If you need to, read HERE how to perform a in-place-repair. You shouldn’t loose data this way.
