Ah!

You may have lost your data, I'm afraid!

Restart your computer & press ALT & F10 again to start the recovery process.

If you have made a Windows 7 Repair disk, then you could boot from that to see if Windows can repair, but I think the ALT & F10 option is the best.

where can i find the recovery process in alt+f10 procedure?Windows 7 repair is not working for me

What I mean is for you to re apply the ALT & F10:

Restart your PC, press ALT & F10 when you see the Acer logo - this will start the Acer eRecovery service. Select the "Completely Restore....." option.

If you want to try the Recovery Disk (which is a separate DVD you can make from within Windows - if you did that is!) insert the disk into your optical drive & boot from it.

If you didn't make the repair disk, you can download the ISO file from here - scroll down the page until you see :

You will need to burn the image to disk - just double click it & use a blank DVD.

but doing again the alt+f10 procedure will delete all the files in my C drive which my data/files is there,i want to recover first my files before proceeding to that option.

Ok, it MAY be possible, but if the process has gone too far, the drive may already be formatted.

Remove the drive from your laptop & connect it to another PC - easiest way is to a desktop. Start the desktop as usual, and click Computer & locate your drive. Click Users & then your name. All the files you need will be here. Copy them to a memory stick or external drive, or even the desktop so they're safe.

Alternatively, if you have a USB to SATA cable, this might be easier/quicker.

If however, the drive is blank - you may have lost all your files. Use a program like Recuvva to deep scan the hard drive to see if it finds anything.

Finally, insert your drive back into your laptop & start the Windows installation by pressing ALT & F10 on startup.

Good luck!
