I had a similar case with a desktop. final solution was to get another hard drive and "start over". to recover your personal files, get a mini hard drive enclosure and connect to your newly-drived lap with USB and transfer them. There is another, cheaper solution, although I have not ever tried it. During startup, press the F6 or F8 key to see a list of possible startup options (or read your manual for mfg-specific keys). Look for one that hopefully says "abort restore operation".
