New disk is in; powered up. Now, I can't get past the first screen.
Software for the mouse is not on, of course. But I can't figure out how to
navigate to get things started. Tab doesn't seem to advance anything, nor
do the ctrl/alt/windows, keys go to the highlighted tab of start now. Enter
button doesn't do anything.

The recovery disk is supposed to bring things back to factory defaults.
