how do i get my computer back to it's original state. there is no option for recovery and the dvd rom does not read cd's. please help.

Get a drive that will read your CDs. If your drive is still under warranty, go that route.

Reuel I think you should ask for more info before making a statement like that.....

When you say your dvd rom does not read CD's? do you mean when your trying to boot from the cd?
In that case go into your bios and change the boot order so that your dvd drive is first then reboot with the cd in it.
also if you can provide more info then just that it won't boot then perhaps we can be more help.
