E-Recovery gone wrong. Windows will not start after factory reset
Dear All
I tried to make a factory reset on an Acer Aspire X3400. It all seemed to go ok but after restarting the PC windows didnt start. All I got was a black screen with nothing more.
After doing some readings i rebooted on safe mode, and although it didnt start, i got an error message. I follow the instructions i found online on a similar problem and using C:\windows\system32\oobe and it worked, windows loaded. After that i proceed to update SP1, but this failed and this time windows got stuck not at a black screen but a a blue one with the nice windows logo on it. After waiting all night i did a factory reset again and now... i can start up the computer on safe mode but i cannot manage to do it in normal mode. it always stop at a blue screen with the logo.
Is there anything i can do? at this point, i am ready to go and get a new pc,if system recovery fails i really dont know what else to do
Many thanks in adcance for any help/advise
