    Did you made the recovery disc the first time you booted the laptop?

    If so, put recovery disc No1 on the dvd drive, press f11 at startup to launch the boot menu, and select the cd room

    then the msi recovery system should start

    I did not make the disk because from what i read - it was stored on the system partition and the only reason for making the disk was if i wanted to re-partition my drive.


    am i wrong?
