but after i had entered Y, Y, Y, to its' confirmation of recovering
without 10 seconds, it said the RECOVERY IS CPMPLETE

i never tried this problem before....
any ideas???

( i have just upgraded the BIOS & CPU Chipset driver + display driver one week ago)

Format your entire HDD including all partitions and specifically the hidden partition and then try again.

Use a third party software like GParted or Cute Partition Manager, and again format the entire HDD and not just one partition.

Their websites should be able to tell you details on using them.

You're supposed to burn either one of them to a CD/DVD disk and then boot from it to format the HDD.
