Powered on aspire 5517 laptop, message saying Windows recovery so clicked yes to fix problem, then said could not be fixed, so clicked advance options and set to factory default, now a black screen with white writing about mac add and numbers, then says connect cable, connected Ethernet to modem, then says cant boot, to put boot disk in and hit any key? I don't have any boot disks, I have recovery disk that I tried with no resolvement, the screen says the same thing, I have tried everything, keep getting same thing. Thanks, Sandy
