problems restoring advent T9002

[EDDS]

i had vista rc1 installed on my advent comp and it only lasted a few weeks because i did not have a cd key for it so it expired and now when i use the recovery disc that came with the comp when ever i select to format the HD and start recovery it just restarts the comp.

any ideas as to what i should do? thanks.
