did you recieve a system restore disc? if so, you probably need to go
into the BIOS and make your CD/DVD drive the first boot device. then
restart with the disc in the drive

No I do not see such a cd I have initiated the restore settings to
factory
as I was getting desperate I do have some files word stuff on an
external hard drive I biught three weeks ago but I am not sure if it
picks up the operating system as well
Is there anything else I should know do I have to reconfiogure my
wireless?

i should have mentioned that you will lose all programs, files, an
personal settings. you will be starting from a clean slate (excludin
anything you saved to your external drive)
