XP reinstall fail (1 Viewer)

[The Archn00b]

Long story short, a mistake has been made attempting to reinstall windows xp on an Acer Aspire T650. The computer came with a disk formatter DVD and two recovery DVDs 1 and 2. I reformatted the disk, so there is no operating system on the computer. Now I wasn't able to insert DVD 1 one prompted, so I inserted it after a restart, the BIOS(?) loads the files, but then takes no further action. There is just a blank screen with a cursor.

Is there any way for me to reinstall windows xp now?

Thanks for reading.

I thought that the Acer series had the OS in a hidden partition and that the disks you have are back ups just in case.

Basically you keep tapping the F2 button until you get a screen for Recovery.
