Got myself an ASUS N56Vm a few weeks ago and have had no problems with it.
Today I installed bitdefender 2013 and ran a scan etc no viruses.

Did some updates so restarted it a couple of time.

When I restarted the laptop I noticed that it was taking longer to load compared to previous days. I thought this may be due to the updates so I restarted and still was taking over 1 minute to boot :S

I then installed "My Defrag" and defragged my laptop and then used CCleaner, where I clean the HDD and also did registry fixes in the hope of it running faster.

Restarted laptop, went to home screen and it was running slower still. So I restarted and looked at boot options to make sure that the computer was booting from HDD before disk drive and it was already selected.

Then I restarted it came up with some advice for running windows in safe mode due to in proper shutdown. So I ran it and a window appeared with Windows 32, I pressed the off button straight away and now I get this LOVELY ERROR MESSAGE!



Really need help as I have some crucail work on here that I was hoping to have finished soon
 
What is MBR?

I just Ran CCleaner and let it fix the registry, did it on my desktop and it is fine. I do not think that is the issue. I cant even run windows in safe mode anymore as Bitdefender has some rescue mode or something and that does not even work.
 
You shouldn't need to do defragging or registry fixes on a laptop that's only a few weeks old. Either your registry clean has broken Windows or there's a problem with the hard disk. A factory reset would fix the former but you would lose your work.
 
Get in to the recovery console and fixmbr - if you read the error message, it's not hard disk related

Have you actually tried running the Startup Repair built in to Windows 7, it can fixmbr and fixboot for you
 
Re-installing windows sounds like the best thing so far xD

This sounds very complicated. If I run windows boot I have two option, run rescue mode with bit defender or memory check thing. No more options apart from putting the laptop back to factory settings.
 
You need to boot from your windows 7 CD, not your current installation. Infact, if you look at your own screenshot, it even tells you what to do in 3 very simple steps. Have you tried them yet?
 
Also in the future leave Windows 7 to do it's own defrag, it does a decent job after all. Do as Terrier Jimlad says, it's giving you the instructions.

I would love to use a CD but this model DOES NOT come with a disk! If it did then I would not have asked for help!
 
Looks like bit defender caused the issue. I'd use a Linux disc to recover the files. Ubuntu is good, or parted magic.

Then I'd reinstall a fresh w7
