david, do you have any printers, scanners or other usb devices attached? if so remove these items and retry the recovery process. - stripping the system back so you only have monitor keyboard and mouse connected would be ideal if you have a card reader on your pc make sure there are no cards inserted also, how many dvd\cd drives do you have - if it is more than one try the recovery from the other drive? hope this helps
