Computer will not use the drive when you restart.

I have a Pavilion dv 9000 and had problems more and more lately (win explorer fails, application launcher fail, blue screens, crashes etc.).

I decided to use the recovery disk that was created at first boot. According to all the manuals that I found (on - and offline), it is just to put the recovery disk in the DVD-ROM and restart.

The problem is that nothing happens. The computer does not use the disk when it reboots.

Anyone experienced the same problem with the recovery disk?

I'm not having any other problems with the ROM, works perfektly once Windows is running.

Thank you

You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
