Go into your Bios and set it to Boot from CD as No.1

Then follow the directions outlined here

 Thanx but..when i tryed to reboot using norton ghost, i used Partition Restore to reload from my bootable CD to see if that would work, I inserted the first of three restore disk and before the first one loaded completely it said somthing about the partition or CD being corrupt and Norton Ghost exited and This came up "Abort: 19235, Decompression Error -3 A:\GHOST>" it shows that, what should I do?

Don't you have the Original Disks that came with the laptop, not Nortons Ghost
