Welcome to MajorGeeks, SamuelTP

This log does not show all the bad entries needed to get you back into Windows.

Which CD did you create in order to run this scan?

 

Hello, and thank you...
I didnt use a CD. I found this thread and followed it...

To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:
