You will need to remove the HD Drive to look for the manufacturer.

I am not sure what you are saying.
Does it go into sysprep every time you start up?

I'd run the alt + F10 again and let it run for well over 1 hour. It has to do a lot of decompression and I think you would have a relatively low power CPU. Give it 2 hours say???

i don't even know what sysprep is. when you factory restore it, it makes your log in a few times during restore, and a little window pops up saying system preparation tool, and gives your a selection to reboot, quit, or shutdown. I choose reboot, and thats it. other then that, the restoration software process never finishes, i shut my commputer off and windows boots normally, but i am wondering why that piece of software at the end of the process doesnt finish?

Find a Win7 retail installation DVD for your version to clean reinstall with Product Key on COA sticker, which is a much superior install anyway. Details in my signature link below.
The HD Drive needs to be replaced.

chkdsk only repairs Software file problems, not hardware problems.
