What kind of recovery was run?

F11 - takes about 20 minutes

User Created Recovery Disc - about an hour

Support Sent Recovery Disc - up to 3 hours

 

Errors in Recovery regardless of model are caused by a couple of things.

1. There is something plugged in to the PC besides Keyboard Mouse and Monitor.

2. Users don't let the recovery finish - especially with Disc based recovery which takes a little longer

 

Recovery app is very stable and works very well, I would run the recovery again and make sure everything is unplugged - especially the network cable. And don't touch it until it is finished.

good luck
