Recovery System help...Now what do I do?

System Recovery how do I?
I just recevied 6 system resovery dics' from HP.
I started to do the recovery and already I am lost.


I can get thru the first 5 steps.
Then

The instructions say:
Press the down arrow key to select BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY, and then press enter.

Well there is no BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY

Here is what the screen says:

BOOT TIME DAIGNOSTIC SCREEN
Quick Boot Mode

1 Removable Device

2 IDE Hard Drive

3 ATAPI CD-ROM

4 Other boot device

Which one do I pick?
I am trying to do a system recovery to Windows XP

you need to move the cd rom to the top. make sure the booting cd is in the drive and then restart your computer. this will boot the computer from the cd and you can finish off your recovery.
hope i helped
