    Hi,

    Without disc it looks like restoring back to factory default state is the only option.

    I mean doing like you did here. If that isn't possible then you have to reinstall the operating system.

    Sorry but I don't have personal experience of reinstalling operating system other than from normal installation disc. I recommend to take system to local computer repair shop if you can't launch restoring to factory default state like you did earlier.
