What does it say the error is? D:
I feel for you bro, same thing happened to me with my laptop. I ended up having to re-install windows, because my encryption's boot sector was corrupted.

Run a Ubuntu Live Boot Disc, and boot your computer using it.
Desktop | Ubuntu
Once you boot your computer off of it, you usually will be able to access your files even if Windows can't boot.
By doing this you can recover any files you might need and then you can reinstall Windows without losing any important data.

If nothing works, i would do what sinza said and have a friend download you a pirated copy of win7 then reinstall with a usb stick or disk make sure you set it so it is bootable. this can be all found on youtube or google =)

Thanks to all
I'm still reparing it and i removed the HDD from my laptop and made my dad send me to my mom so i can work with an other pc to fix mine.
So what i'm planning to do is take out the HDD, connect it to my Desktop, save the data on this PC, and reinstall windows on it.
Though i don't have the knowledge on how to make it launch the windows setup on bootup on my laptop.
You know it's like when you buy a pc, windows installer starts immediatally. Have any ideas on how to do that ?
I'll be trying.
Progress:
DONE :
- Connected the hard drive to my PC
- Save the info
todo: Download an OS.

wut ?
You know i'm not gonna understand that xD
What i've done is download my windows 7 (few mins left ) and prepared my HDD.
What i want to do is prepare my HDD to automatically install windows on startup.
Like the new Computers and all.
And i don't know what software to use to extract it to the HDD.
The current external harddrive will be the new internal hard drive.
Tried uneboot thing to do like with ubuntu for a usb pendrive but for a hard drive but it doesn't support windows.
Get me ?

You're going to have to make a bootable Windows disk to install the new copy of Windows, merely extracting it won't do shit.
Look on google for some detailed instructions on how to make a bootable Windows disk from a pirated copy of it. To get it to start to install on start-up you would need an OEM copy of Windows, which getting one is a lot more of a pain than it's worth. It is significantly easier just to make the bootable DVD and run it off of there, and the installation is very much the same as if it was an OEM copy. However, you are going to need a computer that can burn dual-layer DVDs, or a very large flash drive to make bootable, similar to a DVD. Once you have that, you can follow the instructions to make the drive/disk bootable and it will automatically launch the Windows set-up when you boot.
