after allowing fan overide, i hit "EXIT" which rebooted my desktop.
It went to the menu with "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally"
Because i have force shut it down plenty of times before, it hit enter to "Start Windows Normally"
However, as the words "Starting Windows" appeared, the normal four colors spinning to form the windows logo did not appear. I left it alone for about half an hour to grab lunch. Still nothing. So I force closed again (holding power button) and this time
stared into "Startup Repair." However, it stayed the same at "searching for problems" for a whole day (+7 hours). i unplugged power over night and tried booting up the next day. Same result.
My next attempt at fixing it was unplugging the hard drive from the desktop and putting it back in and hope for a better result. I did just that. This time, when it booted up, it didnt even
give me an option to start normally. It went straight to start up repair. This time, it actually said "attempting repairs", but it eventually said (after about a minute or so) that repairs were not able to be made automatically. I typed out the results and
logs and pasted them below. The only software i recently installed was some emulator for all versions of Linux and Mac OSX (hardware had to match a mac's in order to run OSX). i also installed FrostWire to sync my music between my desktop and Android. Besides
that, i had no other devices or software installed to screw up my desktop.

Wait, no OS files found on disk? WHAT?
i have many documents for school and Norton 360 v5.0 ($60!)
besides that, there is really nothing else worth saving on the hard drive. Any solutions? i would rather not have to plug it in internally to another desktop and drag/drop files.
Need help. I have been using my HP G60 laptop as a substitute and it isn't the same as using my desktop D:
Sincerely,
