Update on my prior posting.  (Trying to get a HP Pavillion to run the
recovery program.)I appreciate your help although I must have done something wrong
cause now its really not co-operating.
  I used fdisk to delete the partion on the hard drive and create another
one. First time I've ever done that so I have no idea what I did wrong if
anything.  Now it has a partion on the drive with no volume lable ( blank) and no
operating system. If I get the fdisk to create a dos partition it gets to the
"verifing drive integrity" part and works up to anywhere from 10 to 30 to about
50%, (once went to 100% ) and then drops back to 0 and starts over.  It just
runs and runs and runs.
     If I get the recovery disk to run it says "invalid Media Type Reading
Drive C" and I must exit.
  Where do I go from here? Don't say crazy, I've been there done that.
help!!!
