I found my recovery cd but I still get an error. When I put the disk in it comes up apply upgrade. I choose that then it says restore to "as new" or upgrade now. I choose restore as new and get the warning. I choose restore to "as new" and I get the error :

There was an error applying the upgrade (status 0xc0044000) CD may be damaged or incorrectly written.

I can still read audio cd so I would think the cd-rom is working ok ?

Any ideas ?
