    The Alt + F10 method relies on a hidden factory image on your hard drive, your image has become corrupted. You are going to need access to another computer, buy an 8gb USB stick and using another computer go here and download the Windows 7 ISO, simply follow the instructions in the link

    Hi guys sorry but it would not let me down program as it was pre-installed and says to go back to manufacture. Thanks for your help again
