Why i needed a system restore - my computer was having slow boot speeds and when starting up (not when windows explorer loads, but right around where it shows the "welcome"screen" it attempts to reformat my hard drive, but it always fails. This all started when i tryed to format my hard drive by right clicking it in my computer and clicking format. a popup came up asking if i wanted to format my drive next system restart, so i said yes.......ever since, it attempts to format at the startup, and it fails......ill try to get some screenshots if my explainations arent good enough.
