hello lazaros
what os are you trying to install?
vista 32bit is the most supported os at the moment. have you tried the FSC support site? I don't think that you can retrieve the drivers from the recovery cd as FSC uses a proprietary format to store the system files.
also as a side note. what did you do with the EISA (hidden) partition? if it is still there i would assume that you can still recover pressing F8 at the start up and following the on-screen dialogs. Check the instructions booklet that came with the laptop on how to restore the system...
Also in case you are trying to install vista 64bit please note that at the FSC site you'll find all drivers except the ones for the webcam. Apart this even the remote control should be fine with the enlisted drivers...
FSC support site:

put the model (xi2428) in the box and then choose your os for a list of the available drivers.
I hope this helps a bit... (plz unlock caps)
