    Sounds like the recovery disc you made is bad. I believe if you have your OEM Win 7 disc you can format the disc and install windows all after you boot from CD.

    That's what you're trying to do right? You made a AlienRespawn recovery disc or something?

    Sounds like the perfect time to upgrade to an SSD. ;)

    Right click on My Computer click on manage, then disk management if you see a recovery partition then exit, reboot,hit F8 ,Repair your computer, and you should see an option to Restore to Factory or something like that.If you don't see a recovery partition you're SOL and you will have to do a clean install using the Alienware Windows 7 DVD

    use alienware windows DVD and repartition it, if it persists, then you should change HDD (an SSD is the best pc upgrade on planet, including GPU I think)
