:confused:

I recently wiped out my hard drives using "fdisk". I created primary dos partitions on both the C and D hard drives. I then formatted them as follows: "format c: /s" and "format d:". Then when I try to use my recovery disk from hp I am able to recover the first disk by just pressing recovery, but when I am told to stick in the 2nd disk and press ok I get "Floating point error: stack fault. Abnormal program termination".
I also get this error if I tell the computer to format and recover using the first disk.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be. It successfully booted up both recovery cd's two weeks ago when I wiped out my hard drives then.

Thanks
Dave
