Cannot fix Windows boot

Dell Inspiron notebook, Will not load to recovery console. It gets to the
point that it asks which OS to you want. I type 1, enter. There is hard
drive activity and then it stops. Will not do an install new or repair
because it will not get to the second instal screen. It stops when looking
for installed windows. Will not boot in safe or normal mode. Checked the
hard drive in another computer. It is very readable. Had some low risk
adware but no viruses. Still won't boot or repair. I am now running a
defrag. What else can I do? Thank you.
