I'm trying to do a fresh reinstall of Vista on my eMachines desktop. I run the recovery center and put the recovery disk in, and the computer restarts, but then a blue screen come on, saying, "Error - the hard disk was not found! Recover was aborted You may need to run the FDisk program to initialize the disk."
How do I get the recover to work right? Thanks
