Try running eMachine factory recovery from boot: eMachines Support - Full Factory Recovery
If it won't run now, then follow the steps already given to get a superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
so I did as you said and still nothing, I get the same thing
Which? I gave you two options.
What is it you'd prefer to do?
Most often when Recovery fails it is not reparable but must be run again, either from its partition or using the disks which should have been made at setup - or ordering those disks now from OEM.
But you've been offered the Clean Reinstall option twice now without even acknowledging it. This is the preferred option among tech enthusiasts, who would never run the bloated factory preinstall.
Ya I don`t understand either, how unplugging the cord ( accidently or however , that doesn`t matter ) messes up the restore process, You should be able to run it from the boot screen reguardless of that fact. I just don`t know about that one.
But if you have a working pc, and a blank dvd, you can get to work on installing a fresh copy of Windows 7. And if you have an external drive, Greg can tell you how to go in and copy and paste your files, data, music etc. onto it before you start, so you don`t loose them.
The decision is yours, yours, yours. ( apply echo effect here )
Did you run Recovery without saving your files? Because if so they're most likely gone.
However in Step 5 of the Clean Reinstall tutorial it shows how to rescue your files using the installer DVD, so you can check to be sure.
ok so I did the emachine full factory recovery and nothing happen so I'm gonna try the clean reinstall. I'll let you guys know how it goes. although I didn't save every file I did save the important ones in my external hard drive so that's a good thing in all this mess
Read the tutorial, any questions just ask. It`s soooooo easy to install windows 7.
1) Download windows 7 iso
2) Burn to dvd with Imgburn at 4x speed ( Nero , PowerISO etc. )
3) Drop dvd in tray
4) reboot pc
5) follow instructions to install W7 from tutorial

thank you AddRAM I will, I'm going through them while I download windows.
Credit goes to Gregrocker and Brink for the Tuts. :)
After you successfully install 7 you can make a Partition Wizard Boot CD to make partitions. The thing works flawlessly.
How big is your hard drive ?
