Before you go any further think about the consequences if, when you're trying to fix the problem, you lose all of your critical DATA files.

My two cents worth - backup and check the backup files before doing much more even if you go to the trouble of installing the hdd on another pc to backup your files. There ain't anything worse than eventually repairing an operating system but losing critical data.

Good luck.

Okay. DONE. But i would like to reinstall as last resort...
