this problem of mine is actually a couple of years old, i just never fixed it because i wasn't using the netbook at the time anyway.
i had bought a used netbook (acer aspire one Zg5) from a guy around my age, and got totally screwed over, i paid 120 dollars for the netbook that had been "fully upgraded" to windows seven, only to get it home and find out a week later that it only had a free trial on it and it was then over, at the time i did not have the money to buy a new operating system to put on it and had no problems with running the non-genuine windows until i got a new desktop a couple of months later.
a couple of days before we were going to buy the desktop my computer ran into problems and had to run startup repair, but because i do not have genuine windows it will not go through, i now need to use that other computer because i do my schooling online and my other computer completely fried, leaving me with the old desktop that cant run the programs i need for school.
i have no money to get a new computer or new operating system at this time, i was wondering if there is a way to get past the start-up repair or if im just going to have to wait until i can afford a new operating system and hope for the best.
