This error is when you try to use OEM recovery disks with a non OEM hard drive. The company recovery disks will not work, they do this to prevent software fraud. Sorry to say you will have to purchase a copy of windows and start over :(

Please take a close look at the disk you are using to install "Windows 7 Ultimate". It is definitely a "Recovery Disk" for Windows 7 Ultimate. You cannot install Windows 7 with a recovery disk. Recovery disk always is used to repair corrupt or damaged files of Windows OS and requires that the Operating System is already installed. You need a "Windows 7 Ultimate" Installation disk to install Windows not a recovery disk for Windows.

Try some more disks, maybe you have cheap disks. making Recovery disks takes not more than 30 min.

To load safe mode:
Repeatedly press F8 upon start up of computer. ( as soon as u turn on computer. ) This will take you to advanced options. Within here you can use the arrows to navigate and press enter on safe mode when highlighted.

Press F1 to continue to boot

To do a system recovery without recovery disks (not all machines can perform this without recovery disks) press the power button and immediately keep tapping the F10 button until you enter the recovery console.

If unsuccessful, you will need to boot using the recovery disks that came with the machine.

1. Place the first disk in the 1st CD tray (some machines may have multiple CD/DVD drives) and start up.
   
2. Start the machine and immediately press ESC button to enter BIOS
3. Select the drive the recovery CD is in
   
4. Press Enter
5. Once the machine boots off the recovery disk it will provide several options
   
6. Press R for a standard recovery
7. Press F for a "destructive" recovery (will wipe out and format hard drive)
8. Press Q to quit

Once you've made your selection, the recovery process will automatically proceed. It may ask for additional recovery disks which have more software.

NOTE: if you are currently able to boot into the machine prior to recovery you should go in and back up any pertinent files. Both recovery options will wipe out personal files.

A link to this information has been provided below. Best of luck.

What type of connection

try starting the computer with the disk in the drive, I had to run the recovery disk on my compaq a few years ago, I think the disks pretty much tell you what to do. If you want to wipe it clear and lose everything type fdisk in the start/run prompt field. Then the recovery disk puts it all back to factory .
