When I press F11, on the bottom left corner, it says "F11...System Recovery." Then it just brings me back to the same error.

Can you try to get to the advanced boot option by tapping "F8" on start up?

 

If you can get to the advanced boot options you can try the options for "Last known good configuration" and "Safe Mode".

None of those options have worked but I just downloaded the ISO file for my Windows 7, Change boot option to CD and it finally worked after putting many product key(most of it was scratched off).

Good job,TunaCutter! I would use one of the free keyfinder apps to retrieve the license key you used ( if you don't have it), write it down somewhere safe for next time.

Hey Cheryl, I just realized that it didn't accept my product key, but instead, it skipped me because of too many tries, and I have 26 days to activate my windows. The product key is really hard to read. And since I didn't entered the correct product keys, the key finder program was pretty much useless. What do you think I should do. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
