You need to boot from the recovery disk. Sometimes this means that you need to change your boot order in your bios depending on the type of computer. If when you start your computer you don’t see “Press any key to boot from disk…” for about 3 seconds then you need to press F12 when booting the computer and either chose boot from cd-rom or change the boot sequence to have the cd-rom number 2 then restart. When in the repair utility press R for repair and it will go through it all (it prompts you for all that)
