From what I've been told fixing the problem is hopeless, the best I can do is transfer the files from my broken PC onto a new one via external USB SATA transfer. I was wondering if there is any type of software that I could use from my working computer to my the HDD once it's hooked up to fix this problem. Probably one of the most relevant things is I do not have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit disk. I have asked about this problem on bleepingcomputer.com who were very helpful, but I wanted to see if I can get any luck on this form. Help would be very much appreciated. I don't have a good place to set up my laptop without causing really bad back pain from a pre-existing problem which is exacerbated from leaning over for hours.
My computer literacy is not the best but I'll try to enplane the problem to the best of my ability. The last time I was on my computer when it was working it said it needed to update Adobe Reader after the update was done it had to restart and on the next boot up the problem first started. The eMachine logo will show up then after that all I see is a black screen with a white underscore. I tried to use system recovery disks that I bout from eMachines but when I get to eMachines recovery management and run the factory restore it will get to the last point where it says ''updating system'' get to 21% then jumps to 100% says recovery is finished opens the CD tray, It dose not say whether or not to take the CD out so I have left the last CD in and taken it out when it gives me the ten second window telling me it will reboot. F11 dose nothing at all, most forms say to tap F11 to try starting it in safe mode but that dose not work. I removed the bios battery then put it back in, I've removed one RAM card at a time thinking one might be no good no difference or error message upon removing the RAM card(s). I've been told I might need a new Windows 7 Home Premium CD but I can't afford one, even if I could I would not buy one just save the money for a real computer such as a Dell. I have a functional HP laptop that uses Windows 7 Home Premium, is there a way to transfer files from that computer onto my eMachine to fix this problem?

What happens when I try system restore.
Here are the steps that I preformed to try to complete the system restore.
1. Power on the computer, insert the system disk, Power off the computer.
2. Power on the computer, press F12. When I get to the screen that askes to select a boot device it shows me. CD/DVDM-HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH70N and SATA:SM-ST31000524AS. I select CD/DVDM-HL-DT-ST DVDRAM.
3. Small white bar at the bottom of the screen with text above it that says ''windows is loading files''
4. Windows splash screen appears.
5. ''eMachines Recovery Management screen shows up, ask to ''please select a language in which to view the instructions'' I select English because I speak English then click continue.
6. Notice screen appears, ''Is English your selection of UI Language?'' I click OK.
7. eMachines Recovery Management I have two choices ''Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults'' ''Restore Operating System and Retain User Data'' and there is an exit choice at the bottom, I click on ''Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults''
8. Warns me that every thing is going to be erased on C: and to detach all external storage devices, all I have plunged into the computer are the keyboard, mouse and monitor and power cord. I click next.
9. Restore Destination Hard Drive Name ST31524AS ATA Device. Partition Label: eMachens Partition Size 913.8GB. I click next.
10. Notice: ''This action will erase all existing data on Partition label eMachines. Press ''OK'' to continue, or press ''Cancel to abort. I press OK.
11. Copping files from disk, when I reach this point it ejects the System disk and asks for Recovery Disk 1 so I put that disk in. Progress bars are moving. ''Now Copying Z:/IMAGES/POPOBPOXOVC(NUMBERS)
.SWM''
12. At 98% of the top progress bar and 50% of the bottom bar it asks for Recovery Disc 2, I place it into the optical drive and press ok.
13. Completes Copping Files From Disk, now at the Restore Progress screen. Restoring system makes it to 100% with Recovery Disk 2 still in the optical drive, at 1% into updating system it asks to insert the System Disk I do and press ok.
14. Updating System progress bar makes it to 9% with the system disk, then asks for the language disk which I put in.
15. At 22% the updating system jumps to 100% it ejects the language disk and says restore complete system will reboot in ten seconds. I take the language disk out, system reboots and I get a black screen with a blinking white underscore on the top left of the screen.
