This is strange. Did you have a windows password? If yes, you can connect your hardisk upto another PC, take ownership of your user folder and access your files...

Boot from a W7 DVD and do a Windows System Restore, pick a date before the updates. This guide is for Vista, but is the same for W7

also when using startup repair it says that i should contact microsoft
I am desperate need of help.
here is what it says:
compbatt.sys
a required driver is missing as a result of a new driver or hardware install -
Is there any way that i can move my documents to another partition because I can look through the windows files but I cant see any files and most of my programs
Any good data recovery software?
i already tried advanced efs data recovery v3.3 and it didnt work -
it's a battery driver....(compbatt.sys)
Have a look in the %WinDir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\acpi. inf_97916753 folder. You should have another copy of compbatt.sys there. If so, copy the file and delete compbatt.sys from the %WinDir%\system32\DRIVERS folder and replace it with the copied file, and then try rebooting.. -
I tried that and then it said do the same thing with a different file and I did it and the it BSOD's and says 0Xc0000000B

your hard drive is easily removeable from your machine.
easily
go get a usb adapter cable for about $20- and pull the data off to another machine. then reinstall your hard drive in the laptop and run a recovery install from the disks that were either sent with the machine or the machine prompted you to create. -
If you have a CD drive, use this method to back up your data

The problem is that I lost all my data because of a widcomm bluetooth driver as described here Widcomm Uninstalltion wipes out the computer. New Virus or Windows Voulnerability.
The driver apparently deleted all my personal data and software while uninstalling its own drivers. I was able to recover the data that I deleted myself before this disaster but 95% of the work i had on this computer from the past 8 months is lost.
I am trying to figure out if this could be a basis for legal action. Their software is worse than any virus I have ever faced. -
It crashed and I lost all my files windows 7 0xc000000f Can't startup
