WINDOWS 10 error code 0X8007003 while attempting to RESTORE from Advance Options

Question

I attempted to Restore to a prior Restore Point and it did not complete and was interrupted during the process by a power failure.  When system attempts to boot Window Repair attempt to Fix but then it says it cannot and goes to Blue Screen with options to Reinstall Windows or Advance Options.  I chose advance options and System Restore to an earlier date.  It says it is Restoring and it gets to Finished but when it goes to restart I get that Restore failed an and error code of 0X8007003.  What can I do to get my system to restore to the earlier Restore Date without having to Reinstall?  

Thank you!

Dennis

Hey there Pedro!

Thank you for taking the time to respond.  I will have to get either a USB drive or a Dual Layer DVD to try the first option.  I will let you know how it turns out when I am able to do it.
