is the sysprep factory mode really important that I got to restart the factory RESTORATION?

Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?
Why did you need to reinstall in the first place?
Did you press <Alt+F10> at boot up,to start Recovery ?
or
Put a Recovery DVD in the DVD Drive,to start Recovery ?
I didn't use disks because its a netbook. I used the built in software to restore it. all I know is that the restoration never completes after the last part comes up. sysprep - factory mode. and that's when I shit it down and windows starts normally, I notice a little 2 min sign on the user account screen. I just want to know how to properly restore it so I can get past the sysprep factory mode part. how do I properly restore it and make it proceed without stopping at that part. because no matter how many times I restore it I would have to shut it off at that part to start windows uncompleted.
So you did not make the Acer Recovery USB disk, using eRecovery, OK.
1) Try using Alt+F10 once more.
2) Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

what can I do to maybe fix the hardrive before doing the alt 10 again. the diagnostics never complete LOL. I think the hardrive is stopping me from everything. I have McAfee on there too. is there any free software that may cure the issue. disc defrag never completes either it says 87% then stops. before I reset it it was 73%. I want to permanently restore it and fully complete.
