If u tried installing windows from a CD onto the HDD and it still says missing ntldr. seems like a Bad hard-drive.

you can restart by pressing control-alt-delete.

then, try booting from windows CD and repairing the windows installation. if it gives u file copy errors.then, it is a HDD failure. get a new HDD.

I have tried to restore my computer and keep getting the message of failed reason Oxf0000005.

This is a message that is given with a blue screen? If so then it is a Common error message for Missing NTLDR. Reinstall OS again.
What version of Windows and how far into the Restore are you getting to when you get this issue?
Also, it could be an issue with the restore image/files that you are using that is causing the problem.

Having issues with Acer Aspire 5810TZ-4238, Computer saying NTLDR is missing, Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart, I did this two or three times it did not work. I took my three restoration Disks out and...

If you are recovering to a new harddrive, because your original HD crashed or is about to crash or can't boot, then find a tool (GPartEd is free and works) to format the entire disk to an NTFS partition. If you want to split the partition to OS and "other", Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit needs at least 100Gb. Basically: PRE-PARTITION before trying to restore to a new HD. To me, these other answers are misleading.
