Windows failed to start after system restore, please help

Hello, I have a problem. I got a virus on my dell laptop with windows 7, I proceeded to do a system restore to just wipe it clean. When the restore was complete, the computer keeps saying windows failed to load. When I click on launch startup repair it just says startup repair can not fix this problem, send info to dell. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Press F12 at powerup and boot to the Dell diagnostics.  Run an extended - NOT just a quick - test on the hard drive.

Hey ejn, thanks for taking the time to help. I did what you said, there were no problems found on the hard drive. I have never seen this. I got a virus, went to factory restore and when it was over it just wont boot up. Tried doing restore again and the same thing happens. What do I do?
