does your operating system load windows still? i wonder if you tried doing either last known good configuration ,from boot up .and or , system restore point from before your computer went sideways. just a thought? otherwise from my past experience, you'll probably need to replace your cd/dvd drive , as i believe the recovery disc won't work on an external drive . And yes thats what you are trying to avoid $$$. so do you believe a virus did the damage ?
