After formatting HD I'm attempting to reinstall the os from the recovery disks. The recovery processes begins and but then I get the blue screen - repeatedly - says to run check disk /f but, off course, I can't get to a prompt to do this.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It's possible you deleted your "factory reset" partion. This partition is normally hid- but it is possible to delete it. If it is deleted the recovery CDs are worthless because essentially they just activate that partition.

What kind of reformat did you do?

Hi,
If you performed a complete format then you will need to call Viewsonic and discuss with them how to restore the system. I would make sure they know that the hard disk has been reformatted so the restore partition no longer exists.
