Own a ThinkPad T42, which my brother (a missionary in Peru) gave me when he upgraded. My wife downloaded the Facebook virus a couple days ago, and I ran some malware that fixed. Trouble is, internet would no longer work, so I decided to reformat and start from scratch. I ran the recovery from the disks he gave me, and went all the way through the process as instructed. Now, every time I reboot, it puts me back in the recovery mode, which I cannot get out of--and I don't have the disk still in the CD-Rom! How do I get out of this loop and get to use my computer again? Or, is there something else I should be doing to recover?

I appreciate any help you can give,
Mark
