    Hello,

    I'm trying to reformat my ASUS laptop model K61IC-X1. I have done it before with no problems but this time, it doesn't work. I load my 64 bit Recovery disc in and it loads all the way to 99%. Then it stops and ejects my disc and says "Can not open file E:/i386/recovery.dat Please insert the driver CD" So I do that but then it says the same message again. I don't know what to do. Help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Please excuse my lack of knowledge on computer terms ><"

    Restart the computer and wait for Windows to load, then install the drivers from the driver cd.
