System restore isnt working now

You could try leaving the system restore for a bit longer. It MIGHT get past 99%. However, you can often run into issues with creating the restore disk. If the disk is currupt, there isn't much you can do about it.

Since Ubuntu ran perfectly, there isnt any other problem with the computer. Running a clean install of Vista/7 or even 8 is obviously an option that will work. You will have to buy the product though.
Otherwise, you could stick to Linux. The software center is really good, and getting used to the environment doesn't take too long.
