Please Help - virus could not be removed - system recovery

I am trying to run recovery disks on my HP a650y - when I boot up I get:

“No operating system installed or partition corrupted. Press R to preform a full system Recovery”

“Preparing recovery partition - please wait”

This bar will fill in 1/2 - 2/3 then read:

“CD-ROM read error! Press any key to continue”

I press any key and nothing happens. I just reboot with the same results.

I have selected Load Setup Defaults in the Bios menu and put the CD drive first in the Boot Device Priority

What am I doing wrong? what should I do?
