Sanchez Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I believe you're looking for system restore. Start > Accessories > System tools > System Restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Stick your Vista disc in, when it prompts you, press any key. Then go through the install till you can get an option to a repair install. Run that, it'll remove and reinstall the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 my laptop came with vista installed. So i didnt get a disk. My last lap top had XP and was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 There will be an ISO on the drive then. Do the following: start > control panel > administrative tools > computer management. On the left pane, click disk management under storage. Print screen that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hmmm... Theres no extra ISO on another drive. Unless Presario_RP is. Can you see a D drive on my computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
