    Black screen with cursor - Laptop


    I'm trying to load a system recovery disk, however I'm getting a black screen with a cursor.

    I've selected the CD/DVD to be first in the BIOS.

    I'm having to format my HD, because the laptop would load to a black screen with a cursor.

    Thanks.
