    So i just tried to Format my m15x but when i put the recovery dvd in the tray it wont do anything but all others cds,dvds work fine.

    Basically i put the dvd in, restart, press f12 the choose the dvd drive as boot and the message to press any key to start the dvd wont appear.

    The dvd is not scratched btw

    edit: I even tried to run the disc logged in windows but the dvd just ejects when i double click the driver.
