I can't *fully* recover my laptop... help!

I have an HP Compaq nx7400 on which I run Windows XP. I've made my own backup in case I ever need to do an HP Recovery - so I have 2 CDs.

Yesterday, I decided to restore all the factory settings on my HP laptop so I went on and popped in the CD. (having been worried that a virus was slowing my laptop down as well)

The recovery was working fine at first...
I had to insert Disc 1 -- which I did -- and it loaded; THEN
I had to insert Disc 2 -- which I did -- and it loaded as well; THEN
I had to insert Disc 1 again - which I did ... it sounds like it runs for 2 seconds but then the CD tray opens and I get the same dialog:

Please insert Disc 1 to continue recovery...
It always rejects the 1st CD when I put it in for the 3rd time!!

I don't know what to do. Please help! Suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
