    The reason i wanted to restore was to wipe most of my programs and files off and thought it might have been the best option. I understand what your saying. I tried pressing f8 at startup and i just got startup repair which seemed to be looping, so i turned off and rebooted into recovery and at the minute it's on ImageX.
    f8 should give you advanced boot options!
    Advanced Boot Options

    what options did you select??? Tel me more details.
    are you telling me you performed a recovery to factory default settings?

    All is going well with the recovery as far as i can tell but the black screen would appear almost as soon as "windows is starting up". Im not too bothered about losing all my software and data aslong as i can get it back working again but thankyou for the heads up on that and thankyou for your advice on the matter.
    What kind of recovery are you donig now? Please be more specific. The black screen issue isn't there anymore because you are recovering now. Hopefully it doesn't come back

    When i pressed F8 that screen never came up, all it did was boot up and launch startup repair. Yeah i did a recovery to factory settings, well the state i bought it in. Even though i inserted my recovery disc i'm pretty sure it used the recovery partition but the first time i tried that nothing happened, the command window was blank. Well its up and running now so thankyou for helping me out Kaktussoft.
