    This is where you need the laptop in front of you to try things however all I can suggest is this,

    1. Can you enter the BIOS and set it to boot from the CD drive first and then use your recovery discs that you burned (you did make some didn't you?)

    2. Can you enter erecovery by pressing ALT and F10 at start up ?
