Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Windows was installed on the computer when it was bought and a restore disk was never made.

I can fix all of the problems with the computer if i can just get it to boot, a young user has badly corupted serval files includeing the firewall. I just need to be able to run windows, fix the files and create a restore disk incase this happens again.
