Hi try this.

once you have gotten to task manager, go to 'applications' then go to 'file' > 'new task (run)' and type the following:

C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe

then press enter.

well since youve got your recovery disc its time to boot from disc!
reboot the machine with the disc inside, keep pressing F12 until it comes to boot menu. select the CD/DVD ROM drive. this may vary for other machines.
