Chances are the files are lost, drive is possibly dead.
See if you can access the recovery partition when booting, I found forum posts showing F8 and F11. The timing can be a bit of a pain with some systems and when to hit the button. I usually keep hitting the key every couple seconds, mainly as the cursor starts flashing in the upper left corner on some.
If you can't get that to work I would just replace the drive and try the restore CD/DVD again.
Good luck.
