I'm trying to reformat my computer back to factory default, and I have 3 recovery disks that the company shipped me. But every time I get to disc 2, I put it in and nothing happens, it just says files are loading and it's at 0%, but it never actually loads. I thought it was an issue with the cd itself, so I burned the original cd2 iso to a new dvd and put that in instead, but that still did the same thing. When I put the discs in when I'm logged in as normal, I can see all the files there as if there's no problem. Would anyone happen to have any idea what's going wrong or how to fix it?

These cds worked just fine with installing the OS on virtual box, since it's the same OS the computer came with I don't understand why it's not working.

is it OEM version cd or something different? normally these type of problem occur when your cd is not OEM. kindly try to contact from where you purchased your computer.

If your computer is from Dell or HP or another big manufacture then it most likely has a Recovery Partition that you can boot to and restore the factory default from there.
