oh. can you get as far as booting from a cd? if so, put ur os cd in, and then repair the os, but not using the recovery console. choose to set up the os first, and then choose to repair by pressing "r." this will reinstall all the os files, but keep all ur documents and programs. i think it oly works with xp tho.. if you dont have it you can try... apart from that, i dont know what else you can do.
