You are using the recovery discs for some reason the third one is not working get another set of recovery discs or go about it with a Windows disc go to the BIOS and set your computer to boot from CD or DVD drive as the first boot. Place a Windows Operating disc in the cd or dvd drive and follow the onscreen instructiions you may have to look for some of your drivers.
