Assuming "the self-repair thing" doesn't consist of staring at the laptop and asking it to fix itself, it boots to
some state.
If it's a registry problem, you should still be able to boot using a repair utility and get access to the data on your drive.
First thing you should try is using the
Last Known Good Configuration. Microsoft has some info on it
here.
If that doesn't work you can try using a Windows 7 Repair Disc (must be made from another machine of course).
