The prompt to use Recovery Console appears on the Welcome to Setup screen which you would have seen BEFORE you reached the point you're at.

I don't get a "welccome to Setup screen".
Once I hit any keys to boot from CD, the screen goes blue with the title "windows setup" then procedes to load all the files which come up at the bottom line on the screen.
It then says "set up is starting windows" followed by "searching for previous versions of microsoft windows" and then only stops on the page in my last post0 -
