Felicia, If I remember correctly, you should have [3] Recovery Disks numbered 1 of 3, and so on. Load them in order. You should only need to load the first two. It will tell you if you need to load the third. Now, can you tell us what the screen is doing when you turn it on or is it still saying the same thing ["page has performed an illegal action and will now close"] as before. Meanwhile, when you Bootup, look at the bottom of the screen or the top right to see if there is a Prompt for Booting your system. Something like F2, or F12. Get back to us, Ivan [FmlyRnn]
