"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

So I went back and changed the windows 86 back to my c: drive because the instructions I read only mentioned windows, not windows 86. Now, I get the above error and it comes up even when I try typing in the c:\windows\system32\rstui command to do a system restore.

There is no "Windows 86".

Could it be that you tripped over a spelling error when you wrote

c:\windows\system32\rstui

instead of

c:\windows\system32\rstrui

If your system is still halfway intact then it should suffice to type

rstrui.exe

If this does not work then you should tap F8 at boot time to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode, then invoke System Restore from the menu you see there.

Note also that hacking the registry is not a good idea unless you know exactly what you're doing. Hacking the registry to change drive letter is high-risk stuff.

What you report suggests that you are booting the machine from the internal disk, not from the Windows Repair CD. Ask a computer-savvy friend to show you how it's done.

Thank you for continuing to try to resolve this, however this has not worked either. The window that comes up after booting up from the CD gives me 2 options. 1) Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an operating system to repair. If your operating system isn't listed, click Load Drivers and then install drivers for your hard drive. or 2) Restore your computer using a system image thgat you created earlier.  When choosing option 1, my c: drive is not listed and I cannot find where my drivers for my c: drive are located.  And option 2 I do not know where to find a system image that I created earlier.  I have come to the realization that if need be I will restore my computer to the original 1st day install, if even possible. I have a few external hard drives that I can put anything I can think of as important on them. I am curious if I would also need to do that with everything that I want on my e: drive (internal HDD) as well.

Here you go:

1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
2. Boot the machine with your Windows 7 Repair CD.
3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
4. Select "Repair PC" from the menu.
5. Select "Repair" when prompted.
6. Select System Restore when prompted.
7. Set Windows back to a point before you hacked the registry.

If you do not have a Windows Repair CD then you must ask a friend to burn one for you. It takes only three minutes via the Control Panel / Backup and Restore.

I apologize it wasn't Windows 86, but Program Files (x86). I changed both to e: and then changed back the Program (x86) to c:. I just tried doing the F8 option, but it doesn't work. It is looking for my restore point in my e: drive and it cannot find it. Probably because (I would imagine) that it is in my c: drive. I also tried the typo correction and that did not work either.
