Cannot do recovery of ACER Aspire 5000

[hectorb]

Hi, any help will be appreciated.
I tried to Do a recovery of my Aspire 5000 factory usuing the 4 disks provided (System and three more - Windows XP ). Recovery starts well, until half way Disk 2 of 3 (as written on the label). Tried 4 times, the recovery stops after about 9 minutes, as it is copying fonts. The error message is that it cannot read file from the CD. Once I click OK, the next error message is: "cannot find preload.tag for SetBootlni".

Can you advise how to proceed. Thanks

Hector
