    because it was system restore that caused the whole thing. And system restore clearly needs a reboot. But when i try to co-operate

    BAM! it does the "please insert a bootable thingy..

    FYI i did hard drive boot first in the BIOS

    and now the hard drive is unknown local disk thingy so it cant be booted )

    Well I still am not sure exactly what the problem is that we are trying to fix, but I will take your word for it and assume that

    • You manually attempted to restore your system to a previous point in time using System Restore from your System Protection settings
    • The restore operation went very badly.

    In that case try this:

    • Boot the computer into BIOS settings and set the DVD drive as the first boot device.
    • Put your Windows 7 installation disk, or Windows 7 Repair Disk, in the DVD drive. (If you don't have either of these you will need to make a Repair Disk System Repair Disc - Create)
    • Boot the computer using the Repair Disk.
    • Select: "Repair My Computer"
    • Then choose "System Restore"
    • Full instructions here: Use Option 2: System Recovery Options

    That will re-perform (reboot) the System Restore procedure, provided there is not a different problem.

    as i said, my systems hard drive is not detected so i cant do startup repair...

    already tried... and system restore is not a quiestion because my hard drive is corrupted so its most likely i need to change hard drive

    Did you ever try the hard drive in another computer?
    That would be your first step towards recovering files.

    I figured it out!


    Ok so im not so techy and srry for super slow reply,

    THe Hard Drive it broken and like a said, im not techy so i cant really do that..

    i figured out that the sfc/scannow and chkdsk was talking about the disk! The repair disk.

    so really i dont have a working harddrive anymore....
