Help plzzz

Question

Hi there,
I am totally a simple user and this was my first laptop i bought in December 2007. the current problem is it cannot start windows. I have tried teh Alt F10 option it takes me in to restore factory settings but after that nothing goes ahead. I do not have teh receovery CD's as well and i have my data on Drive D. I dont want to loose that data. Is there a solution to my problem. Acer asks me to pay the shippings which i want to avoid.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance
best regards,
Kanwal
