Inactive Redirect virus; Staples remote help couldn't get rid of it; restore not working

Startup repair says it could not detect a problem then restarts
It looks like Windows is about to load, then it flashes quickly to a blue screen with white letters then goes back to startup repair which then says it could not detect a problem...

It does ask Do you want to restore your computer using system restore?IBM
 
Try to run two commands;

bootrec /fixmbr (<--- there is a "space" after "bootrec")

then...

bootrec /fixboot (<--- there is a "space" after "bootrec")
 
both commands said they completed successfully

Upon reboot, I get the windows error recovery message again saying windows failed to start
 
Do I just download the three links from that linked article and burn onto a DVD? I had to be able to get to another computer to do this since mine isn't working at all now...I want to be sure I do that right for the Windows DVD.

thanks!
 
Yes you have to download all three files and then read "hack to create or make bootable Windows 7 DVD ISO images out of downloaded files".
 
I was able to do everything listed and get to the command prompt at X:\sources

I did the fixmbr and the fixboot

I still get the same error message when I reboot: BOOTMGR is missing
 
OK...I reinstalled Windows and other programs that I lost. I re-downloaded the bootkit and reran it. Here is the log:
