I installed Microsoft security essentials - after running a full scan for 20 hours i opted to delete the corrupt files . i then restarted my computer to receive system recovery options - i have tried all options included restoring to oldest points which was unsuccessful
except the restore to default system settings as i DO NOT want to lose any data on the computer - i receive the below codes when i attempt a startup repair ----
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED -
PS i do not have any vista disks either

Welcome

First back up your stuff with Ubuntu.
Use Ubuntu Live CD to Backup Files from Your Dead Windows Computer - How-To Geek
Then you can restore and if that does not work
Post and I will give you an ISO with a Vista image, you must have a product activation number, however. This is usually on the computer if you bough the computer with Vista.

does this mean i am screwed and have to back up then reload ? is this a problem caused by microsoft security essentials ?

i did also add a registry during this same process in order to get my appleTV to be recognized which did not work eventually bonjour worked - could this be the problem ?

According to your post, you have already tried to repair and it did not work. There are other things that we can try, but best to save your stuff. I do not want you to lose it because of something that we try.
It sounds like your hard drive may have problems. If it does you will not be able to load Ubuntu, which at least tell us that the hard drive must be replaced.
