my laptop has been running slow, so i wanted to reset it back to its original
state by running 2 reload cds which came with it. the first cd loaded ok but
the second crashed, i wanted to start from the beginning again but can't. i
now have an empty shell for a computer.

What do you mean "the second one crashed?"

Did it report an error, did the PC crash, did the CD drive stop working?

You might want to contact the laptop manufacturer's tech support.
