With a HP Compaq, you press F11 at Boot to start the Recovery Process back to Factory Settings. Read this information: 'Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery' Some manufacturers no longer have Vista Recovery Disks available. If that happens, you may have to try this instead: You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, that contains the files for the various Vista Editions (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) to be installed. The Product Key on your Computer / Laptop case determines which Edition is installed. Other Manufacturers' Recovery DVDs are not to be used for the above purpose.
