Hello,
as you can see in the image I attached here:

the button to browse the DIR to set the repository directory is grayed out, but why?

A:
It is clear because you have never entered a repository before. That button is for navigating within a repository that is in the text box to the left of that button. Type it in manually. Then it will remember it in future checkouts and you can then press that button to navigate it.
If your intent is to create a repository, you are selecting the wrong function. Select "create repository here" in the TortoiseSVN context menu.

I created a folder in C:\MyRepository and C:\MyWorkingCopyThen I created a Repository in the above MyRepository. After I went to the MyWorkingCopy and did a SVN Checkout to get the data I could have put in the MyRepository. Then this happened =>Command: Checkout from C://MyRepository, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included Error: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'c://myrepository' What is wrong?

You need to address the repository as:FILE:///C:/MyRepository

The basic idea of a version controlled repository is that files are not stored in raw form. As you make changes and commit them, subversion will store only delta changes, not the whole file again. You access them via your working directory. The repository files are not supposed to be accessed directly.
