Thanks, we tried this already & the CD still doesn't start. We even copied the Recovery CD on the hard drive & started fr. there. A box appeared saying "If you want to start this, insert the CD" We did & still no response. My husband thinks there's a data on the hard drive which enables the Recovery prog. on the CD to run, but this data has been erased by Ubuntu. There is an "Autorun.exe" (not "Setup.exe"), on the Recovery CD.
