when it rebooted, i sense something was wrong because the windows logo didnt show when it said starting windows, the traveling bars showed up, which it never had done before and it took me to the advance option screens where it says repair computer(recommended) and start windows normally. I hit start windows normally, and it took me to the startup repair window, I left it there for almost 3hrs with no luck, it was just stuck there.with the traveling bar. I then decided to contact Acer to get some advice, they troubleshooted with me on the phone with the same results, the person on the phone told me that most likely my system was corrupted and that I would have to reformat my computer,they were willing to help me for a fee of $99 which I dont have at this time, am really frustrated, I've try reordering the boot sequence in BIOS so that I could boot up from my cd(originally my system was a Vista but my brother upgraded the system to win7) he gave me a burn copy of vista but have been unable to boot up from it, I dont know if the cd/dvd drive is reading it, I can hear it and feel it spinning but nothing happens, I've try safe mode,safemode with networking,command prompt, all the options, but the results are the same it keeps taking me back over and over again to startup repair. Can you give me your advice as to go about fixing this issue? I've read some of the others questions with similar issues but they all involve downloading stuff and I dont have another computer in the house and I cant access my comp, am using my phones web for this even as am typing now, right now, my phone is my lifeline on the net, hope you can help
