Do you see something on the initial boot screen that says "Press (certain key) to access Recovery? Aside from that, it sounds like the optical drive is a dud. You might want to try different DVDs. Some are better than others, and some drives read other brands better than others.

It told me it would take 3 disks and it would run for a few seconds then tell me to put in another disk this went on thru 8 so obviously it didn't work! After using the computer for 10 days it totally crashed. Called tech support and it would not reboot thru system recovery in computer. I am getting nothing but the run around trying to get disks. I am being told they are working on creating them!! every time I call I am told it will be 1-2 weeks and this has gone on for a month and now WalMart will not take the computer back! Can't get a straight answer if it is the machine or the software. Anybody out there know the answer?
