What kind of recovery function was it? Please explain more.

From what I understand, I suggest you install the latest version of Rescue and Recovery.

If no help then give the following solution a try:

How to reenable the F11 function (Product Recovery Program).

Or if you've a floppy drive then install the following instead:

Rescue and Recovery - Recovery repair diskette.

Hello cyjoe,
I've an R51e that did a similar number to yours. I ended up calling lenovo support for help, and the solution was to press the F11 key on reboot, which puts you back into the restore screen etc. :)
