Aspire 5517 Recovery Problems

I have an Aspire 5517 that came with Windows 7 installed.  I was worried it had a boot sector virus.  Having the Recovery CD, I used Darik's Nuke and Boot to wipe the drive before trying to reinstall to factory from the Recovery CD.  I am able to boot from the Recovery CD, and under System Recover Options, there are no operating systems or partitions listed (which makes sense sense I used Darik's).  I am able to select Recovery Management (which restores from factory default).  This opens the Acer Recovery Management tool, where the options are 1) Completely Restore to Factory Defaults or 2)Restore Operating System and Retain User Data.  Both options are grayed out. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!!
