This is normally caused by trying to use a recovery disc on a hard drive that has been wiped of the original OS or where a new hard drive has been installed. The recovery DVD is specific to the particular laptop and will not repair an installation of windows if one does not esist.
Did you change the hard drive at all?
You should try using a copy of a windows CD and use that to do a repair install, inseerting the COA number when asked
The error message can also point to a damaged hard drive, or damaged connector between the hard drive and the motherboard.
