Not starting after restoring

[geordiechick81]

I have an acer aspire predator pc with windows vista home premium.

I restored my system today because everything was running way too slow and for some reason I couldn't uninstall some programmes that I no longer wanted.

I restored my pc through acer restore management.

Whilst restoring, a message appeared saying "restore fail". Since then, pc will power up, but systems won't start. Pc starts to boot up, but then I can only get a black screen with small flashing _ in top left corner of screen. Before this happened, disk read error, press ctrl+alt+del to restart message was on screen. Pressed them keys, but nothing happened.

Can anyone please help me?

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

"restore fail"

Not good.

Did you make the Recovery Disks when you first got the machine?

Try this:

Switch on and constantly tap F8 about once per second

There should be an option to "Repair your Computer"

Try "Startup Repair" first.
