Have you been able to perform a Repair? Does the boot screen appear? Is the HDD recognized?

If the boot menu (F8) doesn't appear or Windows doesn't attempt a repair, then you may have MBR virus.

I would download Windows Defender, burn it to an ISO and than attempt to boot using it. You can download it here:

You can download a legal copy of Windows 7 via the Internet, just use this link:

You MUST have a valid Windows 7 license key for the product you've downloaded. So, if your Windows 7 laptop had Home Premium 64-bit you can ONLY install Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Burn it to ISO, install Windows 7. You may also want to download your drivers from your laptop manufacturer so you have those ready to go.

Considering purchasing HitMan Pro for your AV/AM needs. While I don't use HitMan Pro for my daily AV/AM, I do use it to fix other peoples computers and it's a powerful AV/AM utility. I do, however us Microsoft Security Essentials and haven't had a single infection. Then again, I use Internet Explorer as my browser.
