[Q] help with recovery topic

I am sorry about the noobness but i cant seem to find a proper thread for recovery setup.

I installed ROM Manager and then the CWM recovery from there.

But if i try to root into recovery I get a " android with a exclamation mark" - so assumes i messed something up ?

only way is to power cycle the device .

Can anyone here please help how i install CWM as i want to flas CM 11
