Yikes, it looks like the system restore corrupted some of your Windows install. Do you have a Windows XP disk to use to launch up startup repair?

Use this link if you do: You must login or register to view this content.

It's a somewhat lengthy process, but it should do the trick. Unfortunately if it doesn't you most likely will need to re-install Windows.

You can torrent a Windows XP CD if you need to.

Yeah I dont have the Windows XP Service File 3 CD . And yeah i was looking up a torrent for that that Service Package , all i found was something called slipstream or something . Is it worth it just putting it in the shop and have them repair it for $120 . Or should i just try it on my self . Or can someone help me with TeamViewer ?

Uhh no, I mean the Windows XP installation disk... not the service file CD. Just plop the CD in and follow the instructions from the link to repair your PC.

If you end up not being able to fix it I honestly would recommend getting a new laptop instead of paying them $120 to repair it. Although, if you don't have a lot of money anyways then just go with them repairing it but if you have a little extra to spare then I would go ahead and just get a newer laptop.

Hopefully it doesn't come down to that though. Hopefully you're able to fix it man, technology really sucks when it comes down to things like this. :\

You didn't get a WInXP disk with your laptop?
Maybe you can try to press, F2 or F8 or... While your BIOS Is loading, at least on my pc there is a hidden recovery drive, and the PC will reset to it's default.
