i have an asus netbook computer part of the eepc series. it recently started acting up. when i turn it on, it says “read disk error has occured, press ctrl alt del to restart” and when i do that, the same message always pops up. this makes it impossible to use the recovery disk. there is no disk drive as well, so an external one is needed. i had it for not even 2 months and it started doing this. anyone know how to restore it so i can get onto windows without using any disks?
i can get to the BIOS screen so if you know what else to do, please let me know

as the computer is booting press F8, to bring up the boot menu. select safe mode. from here you can use system restore.
