"restore to factory settngs only gets to 16 %" So it failed after 16%. Not everything has finished so windows wouldn't start whatsover!

failed i/o device error ... hmm looks like harddrive is faulty. Still waranty?
Since you did bootrec/fixboot you seemto be able to enter "command prompt".

dir  c:
dir  d:
dir e:

What commands give a listing?

chkdsk/f/r  c:
chkdsk/f/r d:
chkdsk/f/r e:

any errors? btw it takes hours to complete!

Use an external USB drive to run the disk.
