Re: problem starting sys. recovery
Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.
Did you go into BIOS and set first boot device to CD/DVD rom put in disk and save and exit?

Re: problem starting sys. recovery
Jo have you tried the boot tab for setting first boot device to CD/DVD rom?As there are two ways of chnging this in some BIOS settings like under advance tab?
Put in Disk very quickly on turning PC on? What operating system are you trying to install?

Re: problem starting sys. recovery
Jo we have a chatroom.
 There maybe a problem with the disk? Or the CD drive needs a disk cleaner?
