Ah, how embarrassing, I overlooked that. Sorry, you had to babysit me and point out the exact point. My impatience is quite negatively overbearing.
Thanks for the help!
I have another question though. So, it's fine to just use the disc and the Recovery Manager is ran by just the discs alone and not needed from the laptop as stated here? "7. A window might appear and prompt you to choose whether to run Recovery Manager from the hard disk or from the disc inserted. If this window displays, select the Run program from disc , and then click Next ."
Will my laptop not having a recovery partition present have any affect upon succesfully undergoing the factory reset?
