takes all night to apply fixes

I was thinking that you could still try a repair install with the disks I've sent you then see if it will accept your key or you could leave the registration as I believe that article says and after it has completed, go Start - type Slui 3 - press enter then enter your key when prompted and wait to see if it accepts it and activates the install.
However, while that may resolve most problems, I still don't think it will change G: to C:

apparently system recovery is not compatible with mine[windows repair] should i still try from command prompt . If so how do i get to the recovery environment

Postage is negligible - no charge.
What happens when you change the boot order and boot up with the install disk ?
After pressing any key to boot from CD/DVD you could be presented with an inverse screen with Windows Setup (EMS Enabled) highlighted.
Just press enter and you should get the splash screen to either install or Repair your Computer (lower left).
Change/confirm keyboard/currency etc. using the dropdown and then make a note of where it locates the OS to repair.
This is the partition letter you would use with the offboot sfc /scannow command.
From there you should get the Recovery Environment to select Command Prompt.
You can still enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" to confirm the partition letter before entering the sfc /scannow command
Let me know if it's any different.
qaz:
when i boot from the disc i get same thing ie repair or setup options
should there be an step between these 2 so i can get to the place where i can use the offboot sfc /scannow command:
Change/confirm keyboard/currency etc. using the dropdown and then make a note of where it locates the OS to repair.
This is the partition letter you would use with the offboot sfc /scannow command.
edit: sorry i realize i should refer back to the other post for missing step
thanks

Although I already have my laptop to check the DVD and USB drives before the HDD, for a one off boot order change I would tap F12 as I switched on.
This is a pretty standard key for this, but when you next boot up, look to the bottom of the screen where it will flash press F2 for Setup and F12 for boot change - but this may be different on your PC.
Whatever key it is for you, a window will pop up where you use your cursor keys to select the ODD - Optical Disk Drive.
Insert the disk and press enter.
Press any key to boot from CD/DVD when prompted and you may get the blue splash screen with Install now in the centre or an inverse window with Windows Setup [EMS Enabled] highlighted.
If you get the latter, press enter and when Windows has finished loading the files, use the dropdown to change the Time and Currency and that will auto change the keyboard.
You should now get the blue splash screen - click on Repair your Computer and then it will search for the OS to repair.
This is where you make a note of the partition letter - Next - and that should give you the Recovery Environment where you can select from Startup Repair down to Command Prompt.
