This is not a help thread or any of that stuff. So what happened was my mouse was freezing, so I looked on google and clicked on to a website and they said to restore my hard drive or something like that, so I did. And now it's saying that I need a media disc? Which I don't have, this is why I couldn't restore my laptop to factory settings in the first place and I tried to get around it and not it just shows a black screen and says it's missing the media disc or something like that. It's making me mad. I can't show a picture because I'm on my phone.

You do not have an OS installed or the Hard drive is not correctly plugged in. To get the OS on it your going to need to either buy a windows CD, or download it and rip it to a hard drive and buy a key. Once you have the OS CD in the computer go into the BIOS and boot from the DVD drive, then you will be able to install windows.

You could manually restore the boot files, boot from the version of windows you have, the disk or USB. Then search how to restore or manually fix boot files
