There isn't anything to enable. You turn on the computer, hold down the alt key and press F10.

But maybe you should explain the issue as there might be other options available to you? Also did the laptop come with XP installed, looks like the 5100 series in USA had Vista installed.

 

Before trying Alt-F10 for eRecovery, you may need to enter the BIOS setup (via F2 during startup) to enable recovery options.
