IF what you're asking is to not use a CD or DVD to so a reinstall, there are things you can TRY to see if those fix it, but you will need access to a working Win7 PC, and your PC would need to be able to boot from a USB stick, otherwise you would have to BURN a CD in the other PC and use it in yours.
Macrium Reflect is a free tool that can be used to image and restore PCs, but it also has an option to create Rescue Media (in disk or USB form) that can then be used to bot and/or Repair your PC.
It is available from here: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
What I recommend is the following:
a) Download and install Macrium Reflect (MR)
b) Use the option to create a boot USB stick or CD
c) Boot your PC from the MR media -- it will take a while, so be patient!
d) If needed, select the option to repair the Windows Boot
The PC should now reboot without problems. IF it still has problems, there are other issues at play.
