    System not working after System Restore


    Hi there, first time poster here!

    I have windows 7 home premium (64 bit) it came installed on my laptop and I dont have the disk. I done a system restore today, and now I am faced with a nice black screen with a mouse cursor. I've seen a few topics like this so I am sorry but my time with another computer is somewhat limited!
    I have tried starting in all safe modes, no change.
    I have done the F8 repair your computer thing (said it found no issues) and the system can check both disks (I have 2 hard drives called C (main with all program files etc) and D which has nothing but media files) I noticed that that on the system recovery options screen, it is saying thaat Operating System is windows 7 on (D:) Main.... C is my main, not D and now I'm pretty much stuck. I opened cmd promt and done the CHKDSK for both disks and it takes a LOOONG time to do the D drive.
    Any ideas on how it happened or how to fix it would be SO awesome, thanks for your time everyone, hope you have a better day than me

    sounds like it's trying to boot from the disk that's in the DVD Drive.. (??)

    remove it and try again..

    I have nothing in the disk drive, nothing plugged into any USB ports. I assumed when it said D it meant the partition/other drive as thats what it is named. DVD drive is E (I think, maybe F...)

    Thanks though :)

    Hello Lemony, welcome to Seven Forums!



    I've seen similar on my machine when doing a System Restore, this may help if nothing else has gone wrong with all the attempts.

    Do another system restore but when it restarts go directly to safe mode and see if you get the completion dialog box, if so accept it and reboot to start Windows normally.


    I hope that sorts it for you and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
