WhenI try to boot using the recovery disk on my disk top that I installed in december 2011 I get "loading" message and then it stops and I get a large message suggesting a few things to check none of which helps me get to the options I have gotten before and are mentioned in your instructions.  If I could get the recovery disk to load I could start from scratch again and get this working.  My product model is WNMCP61PGbEMK.  I can't do anything at this point.  Please help.  Is there "anything" I  can do.  Windows installation disk dont help either.

I see I have had 33 looks with no reply.  I wonder if this is a situation where the bios needs flashing?  I know the problem is early in the boot cycle....before the MBR but I am afraid my knowledge stops there.  Even if you can't solve this one, could you opine as to whether or not the bios could cause this?

Never did get a reply from anyone on this but I did decide to go ahead with flashing the bios which I had never done before but it turned out to be pretty easy.  After the flashing I was able to find the two OS on my HD and that was all I needed.  I would urge others to take the plunge if you have a similar situation.  I hope I get a reply the next time I post. -Brock
